Deriving Effective Date on Assignment Form

Hi All,
On the Assignment form, in the People Group KFF, we have defined a value set, which will render values based
on the effective date of the record. Could you please tell me how I can derive the effective_date from the Assignment form.
I do not want to use sysdate, because the user can date track to a different date other than the sysdate.
Any help?
Regards,
Prathima.

Hi
I think you want to get the Assignment Effective Start Date ,I have a question on the requirement lets take an example, if the Assignment record is starting from 01-Jan-2011 and ending 31-Jan-2011 and again starting from 01-Feb-2011 and continuing till end of time. So if user date track to 25-Jan-2011 so in this case you want effective_start_date as 01-Jan-2011 or 01-Feb-2011.
If you always want Latest Effective Start Date (01-Feb-2011 in the example ) then you can use the below query -
Select effective_start_date from per_all_assignments_f
where effective_end_date ='31-DEC-412'
primary_flag='Y'

In addition to what Tim Mentioned it can also be depends on what date you attached this element to the employee
you might have attached this element on 13th Apr 2007 to this particular assignment

BEE errors out Assignment number 4816 is invalid at the effective date

I ran a batch of 3000 employees and for all the employees i am getting the error as assignment number ....is invalid at the effective date for all the assignment.
Then i took one assignment number = 4816 and tried still its the same . when running the BEE for the assignment number = 4816.
I am getting the error "Assignment number 4816 is invalid at the effective date"
when i checked this assignment it is active i wonder why this assignment and the others are miss behaving as far as BEE is concerned.
can some one tell me what i should do so that my Batch Element Entry(BEE) gets validated....?
Please note the element is non-recurring.
The batch defined is as follows---
Under Batch control section the following is done:-
Action If Entry Exists- "Create New Entry" (please note i have also tried with "Reject Entry" it doesn't work with that also)
Reject Rollback If Results Exist
The batch status = Error
All your contribution are highly appreciated!

Thanks so much for the resolution. Is there any way , we can change the effective date to actual effective date/ end dat of the month rather than defaulting to begging of the month?

Issue in update of PA & PD data using same form scenario

Hi All,
     We're in the process of implementing HCM PF. As per the requirement the form should be able to change PA, PSA, EG, ESG and Job of a position on PD & PA(of corresponding pernr) side. The process is started as a PA form (selection by pernr).
     I'm able to change the PA, PSA, EG, ESG of the position attribute but whenever I change the Job it gets updated on the PD side but not the PA side (it still holds the previous job prior to effective date).
     In my form scenario I have one PA & one PD service.
     Any help will be appreciated and rewarded in resolving this issue.
Thanks,
Mani.

Effective date in SSHR

Hi,
we have a process using the HR_SIT_SS workflow. We use this workflow to make new entries. Some of the fields in the new entries are pre-populated, using queries based on the session date.
Is there a way to change the session date in the HR_SIT_SS workflow? I've searched the entire internet, but found no way to do this...
Corné

Firstly, we need to baseline terms. Datetracked entities in HRMS are ones that record history: Person, Assignment etc. It is not correct to say 'all of HR is DateTracked', in fact, the majority of entities are not Datetracked.
SITs are not Date Tracked, they are Dated, i.e., they have a start and end date on them. There is no history maintained by the system; you have to manually 'end date' an SIT record and create a new one; in other words, you maintain your own history.
OK, now that's out of the way, I confess, I don't grasp your problem entirely. For a start I don't understand why Administrators are using the Self Service screens to make SIT entries - just use the Professional Forms, maybe using Fastpath if you don't want them to see Person details. They can then change the effective date.
If you persist in using the SSHR screens, then there is no facility within Self Service to change the effective date for SITs - as you have found, they will use the system date.

How do you print data from a form?

From the interactive report, there's a built in function to print to variious formats (e.g., PDF, CSV, etc).
As long as the columns do not exceed the width of a page, it's okay.
But what I want to do is when a user clicks on 'edit' from the interactive report and displays the data entry screen, I want to be able to have a 'Print' button to print the data from a form.
Don't want to manually modify the URL to change a parameter to print.
Really appreciate any help I can get on this matter!!!

I want to be able to have a 'Print' button to print the data from a form.Create a Print button in the form page with an <tt>onclick</tt> attribute that calls the method<tt>print()</tt> method:
onclick="window.print();"
Don't want to manually modify the URL to change a parameter to print. Sounds like you want to be able to control which page elements are printed and how they are formatted?
This is quite straightforward using a print media style sheet.
You'll need to identify CSS selectors (usually IDs and classes) from the page HTML for the components and regions that are not to be printed: a web inspector such as that found in Safari, or the Firefox+Firebug combo is useful for this. It's also a good idea to give all of your regions a unique static region ID to assist with this identification. Using this information, you can construct the style sheet to exclude all of the unwanted content using <tt>display: none</tt> rules.
In a simplified example, say you identify that there are 4 regions on the page, and you only want to print region 3. You would add the following style sheet to the page HTML Header:
<style type="text/css" media="print">
#region-1, #region-2, #region-4 {
display: none;
</style>+{message:id=2475831}+ is a solution to a similar problem, and see this article for more enhancements that can be included in your print style sheet.
Really appreciate any help I can get on this matter!!!You'll get effective help more quickly if you include the following information upfront when posting a question. This enables others to understand, replicate and determine the most appropriate fix without wasting time asking all kinds of supplementary questions:
- APEX version
- DB version and edition
- Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener)
- Browser(s)/version(s) used
- Theme used
- Templates used
- Region/Report/Process type

How can I pass data from a form guide to another form in a business process

How do we pass data from a form guide to another form(not necessarily a guide) without having to open the form. For example we have a small form guide to capture the contract id so we can then get data from contracts table to present to the user in a form. We want the user to open the guide (either Flex guide or form guide) to enter the contract id. Upon submission we want the process to get the contract data and put it into the form that will be opened at the next step by the user without having a user interact with the form to get the data into it. In other words we need the process to get the data and populate a different form than the form guide the contract id was entered in and this new form needs to be opened in the next step by the user.

Firstly, I'm assuming that you have a Forms ES Server if you are rendering a Guide. This could be either version ES1, ES2/2.5 or ES3/ADEP
If you submit the form back to the server, you can populate a second (PDF/XDP) form with the data bound to the same schema/Data Model using Forms ES.
You referred to the next user in the chain - If you are using Process Management, this is very easy, as you define what form is used to render the data in the "Presentation & Data" section of the Assign Task activity

Problem printing date on the form

Hello friends ,
I am doing form for the HR . Is there any special formatting needed to print the date on the form . I am doing this .
&t_payment-paydate& in the main window of the form .
t_payment is the table and paydate the date of payment . But instead of printing 1/22/2006 . It is printing 3//20/07/2 some junk value . Is it the format related problem ?
Any suggestions . You help would be greatly appreciated .
Regards & Thanks ,
Hari

HI,
You can do like this.
You make the following changes in the program
1. Define a character type field
     data: v_payment_date(10) type c.
2. Assign the date value to the character field
      write t_payment-paydate to v_payment_date.
You make the following changes in your sapscript text element.
    instead of using field t_payment-paydate use v_payment_date.
Thanks

Problem with JFMERGE using the last set of data on all form sets

b Here is the scenario...
I have a file of data in character delimited format. Each record needs to produce the same set of forms. I used the Visual Transformation Editor to define the field nominated data file, including the ^form statements. The transformation agent processes the file of multiple records just fine. I get a file from JFTRANS that contains the set of data & form statements repeated for each record in the file.
Great so far.
b Here is the problem...
Unfortunately, the print agent is repeating the same set of data on every copy of the set of forms that is printed. It uses the data from the last set of forms to be printed.
b Additional information...
For ease of building the field nominated file by our custom client program we have standardized on using GLOBAL fields. Therefore, our DAT files contain all the ^global declarations with all the necessary ^form statements at the end. I used the transformation editor to build the same type of file. Therefore the file going to the print agent looks like:
^global name1
data1
^global name2
data2
^form form1
^form form2
^global name1
newdata1
^global name2
newdata2
^form form1
^form form2
The printed result puts "newdata1" & "newdata2" on both sets of form2. Strangely, the correct data values are showing up on both sets of form1.
The only difference between the two forms is that form1 is not defined with the fields as global where form2 does define them as global. I removed the global flag from form2 but that didn't change anything.
I think I know what is occurring. JFMERGE is putting the data elements into the global dictionary and when the same name is in the file the latest data value ends up in the dictionary (thus all the forms print using the last data put into the dictionary). I certainly didn't expect this. I thought it would load the dictionary and print the first set of forms, then reload the dictionary and print the next set of forms. At least that is the way I see it occuring based on the order of things in the DAT file. Based on what is occuring it appears that JFMERGE reads the whole DAT file, building the dictionaries and then processes all the ^form statements.
b My request for help...
Does anyone know what I can do (such as insert some command) to get the correct data on the forms?
It looks like using a fixed record format might do the trick but that isn't an option at this time. As things are right now it looks like I'm going to have to take the data file apart, and make lots of files with one line of data per file.
I have a time deadline to get this printed so if there isn't a way to make JFMERGE operate as I expected it looks like I'll be doing this by hand. Fortunately, there are only 250-300 data lines. Future jobs could have thousands of data lines so if there isn't a way to do it with a multi-line data file I'll have someone create a program for splitting the original file up (and adding the ^job line).

We don't use subforms so some of what you suggest isn't effective for us. Our forms are a duplication of the paper forms and are not dynamic. We design each form separately and our custom filler software (that builds the DAT file) uses a database with the required forms for each print job defined within it. Since we don't have subforms, our simple method of printing is to declare as GLOBAL all the unique fields used on all the forms to be printed followed by the ^form commands. It was a simple & straightforward method for us to do better than 500 print jobs over that past couple of years. In addition, our custom filler software can easily build the DAT files. Because I need to manually declare all the ^form statements my experience with using ^field is that the form must be declared followed by the appropriate field commands (repeat for all the forms). i <many hours later I continue typing this post> Taking the original Transformation Definition File and customizing it for how things need to be when using ^field commands was a time consuming experience (and a learning one). It did the job as I needed but it is an experience I don't want to repeat. There has got to be a better way of building the TDF properly. I'm definately leaning towards a program to split the file into multiple files. Here is what I went through... I did all the editting using Notepad. I changed all ^global to ^field. Then I had to remove the #comment lines. Next was to find any references to fields that had to be global to the top and chang ^field to ^global. Then it was moving the fields around so they were underneath the appropriate ^form statement. Then, since one of the forms was multi-page I had to add the ^page command and sort the fields so they were under the correct page. That was followed by duplicating fields that are used on multiple forms or multiple pages. Then I discovered that the print agent won't do ^page unless "inline processing" is turned off (I did not want to specify the page name as it could change over time) - so I added "^inline off" in front of every ^page. Finally it was removing unecessary field references so the log file would be clean. For those that are interested, the following is an example of my final file. ^global nameA data ^global nameB data ^form nameX ^field name1 data ^field name2 data ^form nameY ^field name1 data ^field name3 data ^inline off ^page ^field name4 data ^field name1 ^inline off ^page ^field name5 data ^field name6 data

Date Format in Forms- Need inputs.

Forms [32 Bit] Version 9.0.4.1.0 (Production)
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
I have date type field (Db column of date type Date ) in a data block and its value is set based on a char field value in another block, in a trigger event.
In a when-button-pressed trigger, I convert a char item value (from another block - :mod_plan.date_plan_to_zero, Eg say 05/27/2013) to to_date, something like below.
trigger code
begin
:lims_flood_gates.plan_date := to_date (:mod_plan.plan_date_to_zero,'mm/dd/yyyy');
end;
When I run the form in debug mode, I see that plan_date (which is a date type field, with format mask MM/DD/RRRR) has a value '2013/05/27 00:00:00'...?! as soon as the above code is run.
using TRUNC did not work. No matter what, the value when converted to date and assigned to the variable, takes the said format. I need to lose the time portion and need the date to be mm/dd/yyyy format.
How can I do that?
Thanks
SR

Try these in when-new-form-instance trigger:
set_application_property(builtin_date_format,'mm/dd/yyyy');
set_application_property(plsql_date_format,'mm/dd/yyyy');
FORMS_DDL('ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = "mm/dd/yyyy"');
I don't know about that format mm/dd/rrrr I'd use y's instead.
As others have said, a date in the database is a date-time so you can never really get rid of the time underneath the hood.

Query all Employees Elements without effective date

Hi,
I need to make a query shows a list of employees with their elements without using the effective date,
because when we use the periods and effective dates the suspended assignments will not be shown in the report ....
Also it should not be related to Payroll processing ! simply Employee name or number and what element he has
Ex:
Emp# Element Value
10002 Basic Salary 6200
10002 Housing Allowance 2500
10002 Mobile Allowance 300
10452 Basic Salary 10000
10452 Hou........................ etc
Even if this employee is suspended or not included in the Payroll Process ...
Please Help....
Regards

Hi ,
Thank you for your fast reply ...
I want to report all basic allowances or benefits which is given to each employee while hiring him, for all employees...
I want to report it as fixed values even if it is not processed this month ..
Basic Allowances like:
1. Basic Salary.
2. Housing.
3. Transportation.
4. Food.
5. Mobile.
For example:
John is a new employee joined our Company as a manager, then Our Payroll unit entered his Salary and related elements to be paid monthly !
Now we need to have a report shows all employees with their Allowances, without looking in the payroll run or the assignment status...
Our HR Dept. needs to review all salaries and allowances.
