                                             AND ROWNUM = 1)
Please help me with this query, I am new to HRMS modules. Need to understand that why for one location it is coming multiple cost center.
Please help me understand this. I need to pass one value in INTO of this query.
Thanks,

Answer 1

Cost centre is stored at the Organization level.
And many Organizations can have the same location, so for a location you can have different cost code combinations.
If you need just one segment(location segment), then it could be unique.
So , instead of pcak.concatenated_segments cost_centre use pcak.segmentX  (X could be 1,2,3 etc based on your flexfield definition)
