Business group information

Error when trying to save the business group information for a newly created business group , it says a duplicate record

Query all your organizations with a classification of "Business Group".
US HRMS Manager: Work Structures > Organization > Description
Select the existing BG you wish to update. Or create a new organization, classify it as a BG and add the required "other" information.
You may need to query the organization table and look at your BG IDs. I suspect you were trying to create an entity that already existed instead of selecting and updating it.

Deleting Business group

Good Evening everybody
I faced the following problem today .
i defined a organization with a business group calssifaication and i filled the information wrongly,
i deleted this organization and the system didn't stop me , and then i defined another organization with a business broup and i filled it correctly .
the old organization is not appearing in the organization window , although it still exists in the database by querying the table PER_BUSINESS_GROUPS
so i have 2 business groups one of them is unwanted.
what should i do to delete it ????!

Dear Vignesh
in the old business group i filled Business Group Information as the legislation code : Saudi Arabia , and the currency : SAR
and because of previous problem i couldn't define the new business group as a Saudi Arabia Business group , so i put it as United States Legislation with USD Currency .
should i have to end-date the new one also and define business group legislation as Saudi Arabia and the currency SAR?
thank you !

Business group structure in 11.5.10.2

Hi all,
I am using Vision demo for 11.5.10.2. Is there any feature where we can outline business group structure ? I think it is available in DashBoard. However, I could not be able to find it out.
TIA.
dba.apps.

Login to your ebusiness suite and run the oracle diagnostics test 'Organization Structure'
This would give you details about organization structure like business group definitions, GRE/Legal Entity accounting details etc.

IRecruitment for Multiple Business Group

Hi Gurus,
I have US business Group and iRecruitment enabled for it. Now I am adding Canada Business Group. How do I enable the iRecruitment for it (do I create a different site? do I use same site? how to assign responsibility for CA?), when I register in the existing iRec site the person gets registered to US BG. Any information, help, guide, instructions, please let me know
Thanks in advance.

This is a bit of a headache. Essentially you'll need to:
1. Clone the iRecruitment responsibilities (eg, iRecruitment Visitor) for each Business Group
2. Copy the delivered IrcVisitor.jsp pages and modify the responsibilityKey and securityGroupKey for each site. For example, you will have a XxUsIrcVisitor.jsp, XxCaIrcVisitor.jsp and so on.
3. Re-do all the personalizations specific to each country at the appropriate level (ie, not Site!).
I hope that helps!

Supplier data across business groups

Our business group is currently using only Core HR and there are several contractors/contingent workers in the system. What is the best way to capture the supplier name? Right now, it is captured in some DFF but I want to use the supplier name field in the supplier tab of assignment form. There are other business groups in the same instance for different countries and they are using the purchasing module and have defined suppliers for their use which I am able to see in the list of values for supplier field in my business group.
I want to suggest our HR folks to start using the supplier field instead of capturing this information in some DFF. Will there be any negative implications of doing this? Is supplier data shared across business groups? If I define suppliers for our business group purposes, will the other business groups be able to see our values?
Please suggest.
Thanks
Jay

Hi Ranay,
Approvals using Position Hierarchy can be used across Business Group. But specific to purchasing module not 100% sure.

Define a new business group

My company has been divided into two so i would like to define a new business group for the sister company.
My question is in what ways will the defining of the new business group affect the creating of the new payroll and elements for the sister company.
Is it possible to use the same elements that were defined for the company initially or is it that i will have to define all the elements all over again for the sister company?
The reason why i am asking is because there will be no change in the allowance and/or deductions that will be performed on the emps that are in sister company and the actual company.
all comments are highly appreciated!

Hi,
Is your business already decided that you should go for a new BG for your sister company??
If you are planning to go for a new BG, then you have to do setup/implementation for your sister company from scratch.. You have to define all the elements all over again for the sister company.. It's to be treated as a different entity now as it is detached from Parent..and this is required for better reporting purpose..
Since you informed that your sister company is going to follow the same set of rules /approach like parent company, then why don't you keep both business in same umbrella ..I mean BG..
In this case your sister company implementation is going to be treated as a rollout or an extension to parent...
Now choice is yours to decide where you want to stand.. :)
It's indeed a nice question, please wait for few more suggestions from other Business Gurus.. :)

S.P DASH

Multiple Business Group Setting in R12

Hi
I have Created a multi BG structure where two business groups(UK&US) representing two different countries report to a single BG(IND) of other country. Both the BGs(UK&US) are having individual Org Hierarchies in respective responsibilities. While subordinating these BGs to main BG(IND) in Global Hierarchy, is it mandatory that we have to difine the entire structure(org hierarchy) for each BG? Instead, can we attach the org hierarchies that are previously defined for each BG to the hierarchy of main BG(IND).
If any one help me in setting up this multiple BG structure, It will be very useful.

Hi Matthew Bruckner
do you set deletion flag to your location master ? If not, please set deletion flag at first, then please delete your location by using /SAPAPO/DELETE_LOCATIONS .
To set deletion flag to your location, please perform following.
1. Open transaction /n/sapapo/loc3
2. From the menu, select "deletion flag".
(the location should be de-assigned from related data like product, model)
3. delete your location by using /SAPAPO/DELETE_LOCATIONS .
And if you have same location or same location product, I recommend you to add some kind of information to your location and product by using CIF user exit.
Please take a look at my comment in following thread.
Re: Integration multiple R/3 systems with APO via CIF

To Define Business group in HRMS

Hi,
I am new to HRMS module.
I like to know how to create a Business group
If any one could share the "Oracle HRMS-The fundamantals" guide that would help me a lot
Regards
Ramesh Kumar S

Hi,
Follow the steps below:
1. Logon to HRMS Responsibility
2. Navigate to Work structures => Organization => Description
a. Enter a Business Group Name
b. Select the Type fi you want (But there is no significance for Org type- this is only for reporting purpose)
c. Select the Location from LOV (Location Addres willbe displayed automatically)
d. By default 'Internal' will be selected. Save the record
e. Select 'Business Group' from LOV under Organization classification region.
f. Select 'Enabled' check box. Save the record.
g. Select 'Others' and select 'Business Group Info' from LOV
h. Provide the appropriate info for business group info.
i. Select 'HR Organization' classification if you want to assign any employees for this organization. save the record.
Now assign this BG to profile values as follows:
Setting the profile to a value of 'User' as opposed to 'Payroll & User' will restrict the Inventory user from accessing any Payroll information if Oracle Payroll is installed.
· HR: Business Group = {the users Business Group name}
This points the responsibility to the appropriate Business Group. When multiple Business Groups are defined, you must associate each responsibility with one and only one Business Group. A responsibility can not see organization data from more than one Business Group.
Hope this helps you to understand.

How to setup Business Group with Global Legislation?

Hi All,
We are exploring possibility of creating International Business Group with no Legislation Code for our client. The client has operations in multiple geographies.
I found following document in Metalink
How an International Business Group be created with no Legislation Code? [Doc ID 851711.1] It mentions "Global legislation must be installed in order to set up a Global Business Group. The business group is created just like any other, but with Global legislation selected. You will need to use Global responsibilities to access it."
When we tried to create a business group with Legislation Code as 'Global" we did not find any such Legislation Code in dropdown of *Business Group Info classification.
Has anybody implemented Global Legislation before? Any information on Setup Steps, Challenges faced, bugs and issues faced with other modules especially OTL would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Amit
Edited by: user10450466 on Jan 22, 2010 12:23 AM

I wasn't aware there's any such thing as 'Global Legislation' in HRMS and I think the Metalink Note you mention is misleading. There are multiple concepts here being mixed up.
hrglobal and Data Installer
Oracle deliver legislative seed data through hrglobal and Data Installer. When a DBA runs this they pick the legislations they wish to install. That includes legislations such as US, GB and all legislations where Oracle HRMS deliver seed data (Fast Formulas, balances, etc). One of the options here is 'Global', which ensures that common seed data used across multiple legislations is installed. This process does not create new legislations - it just creates the seed data used by those legislations. 'Global' is not a legislation - it just means that the relevant seed data (Fast Formula, balances, etc) is typically delivered without the legislation_code column being populated.
Business Groups and Legislations
A Business Group is intrinsically tied to a Legislation Code - they have a one-to-one relationship. When you define a Business Group you have to pick a Legislation and that list of Legislations comes from fnd_territories_vl. The list in fnd_territories_vl has nothing to do with hrglobal or Data Installer. There is no 'global' territory.
International HR & Payroll
If you are implementing HRMS in a country where Oracle HRMS do not deliver any specific legislative seed data or functionality (ie, the legislation isn't listed in Data Installer) you have the option of using International HR & Payroll. This allows you to install generic seed data into the legislation of your choice, which is again a list from fnd_territories_vl. Again, there's no concept of 'global' legislation. Information on that is available here:
International HR and Payroll [ID 261452.1]
International Implementations
Customers, like yours, who are rolling out Oracle HRMS to multiple countries have a big choice to make: single or multi Business Group. If you opt for one Business Group you create employees in multiple countries all within the same Business Group. That Business Group is tied to just one of those country's legislation codes - which you go for is up to you but that's generally the Legislation Code of the International HQ. The problem with this approach is that you can't leverage the legislative-specific functionality for each of the other countries.
If you opt for multi-Business Group you typically define one Business Group for each country so that you leverage the legislative-specific functionality for each country. This is generally more popular but doesn't suit everyone: you can have problems with employees transferring from one country to another, etc.
Global Structures
Oracle HRMS has forced you to tie a Business Group to a legislation code for many years. As mentioned above, this causes a number of problems. To mitigate those, Oracle have delivered a number of enhancements that help you model global businesses:
1. Global Organization Hierarchies
2. Global Security Profiles
3. Global Overseas Deployment functionality (nickname GOD/GOLD)
4. Cross Business Group profile option
5. etc
I hope that helps.

Business Groups in OSSWA

Hi every one,
We have two Business Group and there are people into two Business, Can I log in with a user in two BG in application Self Service?,
When I asign a person for the user, the information for SSHR is correct, but the approvals for iProcurement doesn't work.
i.e.:
SSHR has BG UK
and
iProcurementhas BG US
Can I have just a user for both Business Groups?

There have been many post on this subject. The answer is no, there are no groups allowed. There is a workaround that uses an app. You can find it, and the other posts, by searching this iPad forum for:

Capture employee salary in different currencies in a single business group

Hi,
Scenario: Under single buiness group, employees information of multiple countries are recorded (as there may be very few employees in each of those countries).
Provided payroll is NOT implemented, how do we capture employee salary information specific to individual country ie., capturing employee salary in different currencies under single business group.
Thanks,

You can use Add'l Salary Admin. Details DFF to capture Currency and its converted Value. Main Salary will be in one basic Currency.

New Business Group in HR 11.5.7 FP.G.

New Business Group in HR 11.5.7 FP.G.
Hi all,
We have Oracle HR 11.5.7 (Family Pack G), SSHR 5.2, WorkFlow 2.6.0.
We currently have two different Business Groups for Country A (Main Banking Operations) and Country B (Banking Operations Abroad).The Human Resources Dept wants to create a New Business Group to hold information for an Insurance Company that belongs to the Group (base at Country A) but whose employees'(currently they are not held in Oracle HR) have different collective agreements and reporting structures.Also users of Insurance not to be able to see data from banking Operations, but some users in banking to be able to see all data.
Firstly, can anyone help us regarding the pros/flexibility and cons/limitations of creating a New Business Group for the purpose described above?
From the way I see it if we create a New Business Group we will have more overhead even if the Flexfield Structures will remain the same.If we use the existing Country A BG to hold this info we will have to change all responsibilities/users/ profiles to restrict access based on less clearly defined lines as opposed to a New BG.
If we will proceed with the creation of a New Business Group (Users requested for a new BG to be created) does anyone knows or have an implementation/priority step guide/plan for a new BG not limited just to the creation of the Organization details?
Does anyone have an indication as to the average time required to setup a new BG as described above with all related information completed(security/ responsibilities/Organizations/positions/jobs/locations/grades/ elements/element links/special info/etc)?
Lastly, we recently setup SSHR 5.2 for the purposes of Online Appraisal System for the BG of Country A-Main Banking Opreations. Is there any impact that we have to consider, regarding the new BG?
I hope someone can give me some feedback!
Thanking you in advance for your much appreciated help.
Best regards,
Elena

Dear 'thierry' and 'HCMgaclark'
Thanks a lot for your replies.
In case I convince Key Business users to use the existing BG is there an easy way to exclude these new employees from showing in all reporting unless we want to display them?
One reason that will cause us difficulties to do that is the fact that we are not using the Position/Organization Hierachies of the HR. instead we use an additional Organization Flexfield to hold a code that represents our organizational structure due to our Payroll links.
We use Discoverer 4.1.41.05 for reporting purposes. We created our own EUL and have 2 BUsiness Areas, one for each BG.Users connect as Super Users (Responsibility). If we add these employees in the existing BG, what worries me is that we have to specifically exclude from each report the new employees and structures while in some cases a user should be able to see both.
is there an easy way out of these problems?
If we eventually decide to use a separate BG does anyone knows or have an implementation/priority step guide/plan for a new BG not limited just to the creation of the Organization details?
Thanks a lot for your time and help.
Best regards,
Elena

Hiding some fields in the Business Group Info

Hi All
I want to hide the Minimum Working Age and Maximum Working Age from the Business Group Info while defining a new business group.
I tried form personalizations but not able to find the text item related to this neither I am able to find any attributes related to these items.
I tried to check the attributes of the DFF Additional Organization Information without any success.
What are fields assoicated with these items and how can i hide these items?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards
Rahman

You are not supposed to unfreeze and modify any of the segments here. You just need to get the column names where minimum and maximum working hours are stored. Get the column names from here and then go to the Organization screen. Here create a personalization and user these column names to hide the data by setting up their property 'CONCEAL_DATA' to be true.

In R12.1.3, MO:Security Profile Vs HR:Cross Business Group precedence

Hi All,
In R12.1.3, Which profile option has higher precedence in MOAC structure.
If i set the HR:Cross Business Group to NO at resp level and MO: Security Profile, which is associated to Global Security Profile which has two OUs of two different BGs.
For example:
I have BG1 - OU1
BG2 - OU2
Case 1:
Global Security Profile - XXGSP has both OU1(BG1) and OU2(BG2) associated.
HR:Cross Business Group - NO
HR:Cross Business Group - BG1
In Purchasing Responsibility, what could be the behavior when i create PO?. Will it show both OU1 and OU2? or OU1?
Case 2:
Global Security Profile - XXGSP has both OU1(BG1) and OU2(BG2) associated.
HR:Cross Business Group - Yes
HR:Cross Business Group - BG1
In Purchasing Responsibility, what could be the behavior when i create PO?. Will it show both OU1 and OU2? or OU1?
Case 3:
Global Security Profile - XXGSP has both OU1(BG1) associated.
HR:Cross Business Group - NO
HR:Cross Business Group - BG2
In Purchasing Responsibility, what could be the behavior when i create PO?. Will it show both OU1 and OU2? or OU1?
Case 4:
Global Security Profile - XXGSP has both OU1(BG2) associated.
HR:Cross Business Group - Yes
HR:Cross Business Group - BG1
In Purchasing Responsibility, what could be the behavior when i create PO?. Will it show both OU1 and OU2? or OU2?

How to change the replication group information after db files are created

Since group information is persisted in the database, I am wondering if there is a way to update the information.
We want to implement some kind of Berkeley DB master relay mechanism for our two data centers, which has slow link in between. Basically have one master populating a database file and launch another two node as master to replay that to other nodes of its own group. It will be much efficient this way so we don't have to copy the data multiple times over the slow link.
We periodically (once a day) update the Berkeley DB content from customer's feed on a backend node and upload (rsync) the Berkeley DB File to two the data centers. We would like to have a master node in each data center to read the pre-populated data file, replicate the changes to the web node (read only) while they are still running. I simulated local and if I trick the nodeName and nodeHostPort setting, it should work (basically, fake the replication node on the backend node using tampered hostfile so they get registerred). However, it is not very convenient and definitely a dangerous hack on the production servers.
If there is a way, after the creation, to update the group information (for example, change all the nodes information) without corrupt the log file/replication stream, it will be much easier for us. Basically, we would like to have the node/group information and data file de-coupled?
Any ideas how to do that, or is there a better way to design such a replay of data using Berkeley DB?
Thanks in advance!

2. You mentioned to not clean up the log file. Is there a point where I can safely call clean up on the environment when BDB is still online as I can imagine we will run out of space very soon if we don't clean up.The approach outlined above (steps 1 to 5) will ensure that no log files are deleted on A while you are updating B and C. The use of DbBackup ensures this. For more information on how this works, see the DbBackup javadoc.
Whether this causes you to run out of disk space on A is something you'll have to evaluate for yourself. It depends on the write rate on A and how long it takes to do the copy to B and C. If this is a problem, you could make a quick local copy of the environment on A, and then transfer that copy to B/C. But you must prohibit log file deletion during the copy, using DbBackup, or the copy will be invalid.
You should perform explicit JE log cleaning (including a checkpoint) before doing the copy to B/C. This will reduce the number of files that are copied to B/C, and will reduce the likelihood that you'll fill the disk on A. See the javadoc for Environment.cleanLog for details on how to do an explicit log cleaning.
In your earlier post, it sounded like the updates to A were in batch mode -- done all at once at a specific time of day. If so, you can do the copy to B/C after the update to A. In that case, I don't understand why you are afraid of filling the disk on A, since updates would not be occurring during the copy to B/C.
