Global Business Group, enrollment

Hi All
I am using global business group, lets consider two Business groups BG1 and BG2.
I made BG1 as global BG and created catalog structure in it. Now Training Admin of BG2(Employee from BG2) using Admin responsibility should see complete catalog but learners from BG2 only, how can I achieve that? currently Admin can see all the employees(of both BG1 and BG2). Any thoughts on how can I restrict employee list and organization list and still have single global catalog structure?
In addition: for Admin responsibility Global BG is set as BG1, HR:BG is set as BG2. still its not putting restriction.

Statutory Field disabled for Global Business Group

Hello Group,
I am implementing Oracle HRMS for a non seeded country. I have ran the International HRMS Setup program. It ran successfully. Also I do have enabled the country using hrglobal patch. Please suggest me how to enable the Statutory information tab.
XX HRMS Manager > Enter and Maintain > Query Employee > Click Assignment button> Click
Statutory Information Tab> Click in grayed out field to access additional information.
Looking forward for the reply.

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

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.

R12 Existing Business Group with Global HR

Hi All,
I need your help in following:
We currently have Two Business Group: 1) US 2) ASIA & both of them have one GRE
We wanted add more GRE into ASIA business group with Ledger. First part is only for HRMS and may be in future we can make use of other modules.
Underneath ASIA we want GREs like : 1) Korea 2)Japan 3) China and also Ledger for these GREs.
I have seen like Adding Secondary Subledger to existing Primary Ledger but there option like Journal,Subledger.
So question would be what option should/could we use for future use if we add seconday subledger to existing primary ledger.
Can we any way do this if we want to use any modules like AR/AP etc. using seconday subledger.
Thanks in advance
Prashant Pathak

You can have any number of Secondary Ledger attached to the primary. However the options like Journal,Subledger etc will decide how your subledger transactions will be represented in your Primary and Secondary Ledgers. For example, if you choose the option to be Journal, and you have a different Subledger Accounting Method for your primary and secondary, a single transaction in AP will have 2 representations, one each for your primary and secondary.
You can do this for the subledger modules like AP/AR etc.
Hope it helps.

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?

Changing Owner & Business Group of ASD Custom Resource

So this is a bit of an expansion of this discussion: https://communities.vmware.com/thread/500669?start=0&tstart=0
You will see that pizzle85 managed to solve his challenge of BG object ownership by using an ASD Service Catalog Request located in each Business Group's Entitlements so a member of the business group can just run the Provision required to bring the BG item under management in the business group. This is quite an effective method to solve the need. He then has a Resource Action that allows for re-"Provision" which changes owner within the business group: a necessary task because managers tend to move around a lot so they can look busy. (just kidding, I love managers--who have a sense of humor) So to change owner... just perform a "provision" again.
Apparently this is one of the best kept secrets in vRA because it has been hard to figure out, and nobody is writing about it. (I can only assume that there is some SE out there who has worked with the developers to get this capability going and it hasn't been shared widely.)
Note: I think Business Groups as a Service is something I need to plan for (vs centrally managed Business Groups) even though their future implementation might vary, so my examples here are related to that effort because I am too lazy to demonstrate a generic example. BUT... the idea is... ownership of ASD Inventory Objects (representing ANY Custom Resource) can be modified using this method. Ownership includes both the owner represented by "ME" in the Items list... and the Business Group (subtenant Reference & Label) where the item resides in inventory.
In 6.2.x, I have not found any method in the vRO plugin for vRA to be able to change ownership and business group of an ASD Custom Resource Inventory Item, but it can be accomplished via a combination of (1) ASD Service Catalog or Resource Action "Provision" capabilities and (2) REST calls through the vRA plugin service channels. (the latter uses the plugin service account authorizations/entitlements)
Consider this image...
This could represent a central management point for many business groups: where I can assign a set of resource actions allowing for automation of various business group needs, an anchor point for actions. Those in the sktest business group Support User or Manager Role would be able to see all the business groups globally if they were all provisioned in sktest. (a bucket to manage from)
This also could represent a starting point where business groups are created as real objects, returned as custom resources, and "provisioned" as inventory object items. But once there...maybe you want to move it?
Let's say we later decided, seantesting doesn't belong in sktest because we wanted to change from the "we manage it for you" model to the "manage it yourself" model. How do you move it?
Like this...
And it moves now owned by the vRA plugin service account... (which an entitled user could run Take Ownership and own it in that business group)
The service account obviously needs to be part of the destination business group and as it ends up, has to have an entitlement to any "provision" action in the business group even though the object doesn't exist there.
This is a tricky hack and this is how it works...
1. vRO workflow calls the Take Ownership Action in vRA via REST (front door process). As noted before, this has a provision attribute to the action which we know changes the owner. So we would expect that the owner would change to the user that is making the request: which is the service account. The service account becomes the owner, but this wouldn't change the Business Group.
2. So we change subtentantRef and subtenantLabel in the REST call to the business group we want to target, even though the object isn't in inventory in that business group. And Voila! The business group item representation re-provisions as a new owner in a new business group. Effectively changing the owner and moving the object from one BG to another BG using the management-method vs the self-service-method (the latter as pizzle85 did).
Again... maybe you care less about Business Groups. Maybe you would prefer self-service. It is the capability of moving a custom resource inventory representation that matters.
Here is an example of the REST call to run the "Take Ownership" action. I have a script before this that pulls in all the variables for the "Resource" I am targeting (from the BusinessGroup object ID), the action I am running (Take Ownership ID), the business group Ref and Label) and some of the properties I need for the Take Ownership action like bgName... but those are actually not necessary. (all of the "entries" are what is required per the Take Ownership request... if that request didn't require any inputs, there would be no entries... it is the top change of subtenant that allows for the BG move)
System.log("resourceRef: " + resourceRef);
System.log("resourceActionRef: " + resourceActionRef);
System.log("targetRef: " + targetRef);
System.log("targetLabel: " + targetLabel);
System.log("bgName: " + bgName);
var payload ={
"@type":"ResourceActionRequest",
"resourceRef":{"id":resourceRef},
"resourceActionRef":{"id":resourceActionRef},
"organization":{"tenantRef":"vsphere.local","tenantLabel":"vsphere.local","subtenantRef":targetRef,"subtenantLabel":targetLabel},
"state":"SUBMITTED",
"requestNumber":0,
"requestData":
{"entries":[
{"key": "provider-rYouSure","value":{"type":"boolean","value":"true"}},
{"key": "provider-bgName","value": {"type": "string","value":bgName}}]}
payload = System.getModule("org.dojotoolkit.dojo.json").serialize(payload);
System.log(payload);
Server.log(payload);
var catalogRest = cafeHost.createRestClient(vCACCAFEServicesEnum.CATALOG_SERVICE);
var response = catalogRest.post("consumer/requests",payload);
Best of luck in your Automation Efforts!

Turns out... it is likely not required as part of the request data.

EEO setup with multiple GRE's associated to Business Group

Hi,
I am looking to setup EEO report for a business group that has multiple GRE's. There are multiple locations rolling up to the GRE.
How can I setup EEO Generic Hierarcy so that I can get each Location as an establishment report and a consolidated report on the GRE.
Parent Org has a Business group classification and the individual GRE have GRE/Legal Entity classification.
If I setup Generic Hierarchy with Business Group Org as a Parent Entity and GRE's as Establishment then all the locations defined are summed up to the Establishment. This does not work for me as I am looking to report on each location as an Establishment.
Alternativeuly I cannot add GRE classification to Business Group Org or Business Group classification to GRE.
Any help woudl be appreciated.
Thanks

Prashant
If you are in R12 then there is no more relation between GRE and Ledger, OU
GRE is independent and only for the HR.
You need to look at the Accounting legal entity which is tied to the ledger, which interm tied to the business group.
If you build global hierarchy in HR, there is no impact on the ledger or to anyother non HR modules.
You can use MOAC for the other modules

Multiple business group situation

Hi,
I am working on a project for a company having multiple BG.
HR manager, whose in formation resides in BG lets say BG1 wants to views the record of employees who are residing in another BG say BG2.
Can anyone provide step by step guidance in this regard that how this task can be achieved and what will be the steps in detail.
Regards
Majid

Hi Mohammed,
I think you already have another post with the same issue and I have already mentioned the steps to achieve the functionality. It is always recommended to have one post for one issue as it will help others too if they are facing the same issue, try out below steps to achive your requirement
1. Create a global security profile.
2. Assign this security profile to the HR manager resp for which you want to provide access of employee across BG
3. Set the profile option HR:Cross Business Group to Yes
4. Now using the HR manager resp navigate to People -> Maintain using templates -> Maintaining Employees -> Click on tourch option in toolbar to find an employee.
On search form there is a field called business group available, if a global security profile is assigned to the responsibility then the user can select any other business group and then search any employee as required.
Try this out and let me know if you face any issues.
Thanks,
Sanjay

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

Multiple Business groups???

Hi,
I am having very basic question in my mind.
Why do we need to have multiple business groups if the company is working only in US and runnig same set of books?
Or what is the factor which decides definition of multiple business groups?
This question might sounds to be very basic but I am not able to find answer for it.
Regards,
Soham

Soham,
The current best practice configuration model is to use business groups only as legislative containers representing countries, and not to appear as a management reporting structure in the organization hierarchy.
Also see...
Oracle® Human Resources Management Systems
Enterprise and Workforce Management Guide (Global)
Release 11i
Part No. B14467-01
Single and Multiple Business Groups; page 2-14
However, there are reasons for setting up multiple Business Groups in the same
installation, such as the following:
You want to have a copy of your live system with example records for training or
testing purposes.
You are a holding company or a corporation with a number of subsidiary
companies. Each subsidiary has its own structures, employees, and compensation and benefit policies. If your subsidiaries are in different countries you also have to
deal with local legislative requirements.
You are acquiring a company or merging with another company, and you want to
maintain separate structures and compensation and benefits during the transition
process.

Greg

Employee Numbering in Multiple Business Groups

Hi All,
We are having 2 business groups. The employee numbering is automatic and global sequence. The employee transfers between business groups is quite common and the client wants the same employee number when the employee transfers from one BG to another.
Example: Employee ABC is hired is BG1 with employee number as 10001 and when employee is transfered to BG2 the client wants the employee to retail his old employee number in the new BG.
Any help is higlhly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ramprasad.

Hi,
I have done this before. You need to set the numbering to Manual (with profile option) and then edit the fast formula associated with Numbering.
You need the following logic inside PLSQL procedure (gets called through FF) for this requirement:
- Check if the employee is a transfer case. Use (first name , last name , date of birth) combination on per_all_people_f to check this. Note person_id and business_group_id will be different for a transfer case
- If the person is transfer case then derive the previous employee number (from per_all_people_f)
- else derive the last used employee number from per_all_people( select max(employee_number) from per_all_people_f) and return this number by adding 1.
- he employee number field might have characters in it so you need to replace characters while deriving latest employee nnumber (select MAX(translate(employee_number, 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ',' ')) from per_all_people_f)
Please note the fast forumula needs to be edited and verified from SETUP BG for this case.
When you initially install Oracle HR (and it does not matter whether shared install or full install)
you get two options, Automatic or Manual, as a choice for Employee Number Generation.
If you choose Employee Number Generation = Manual, and then later decide to change to Automatic,
you can do this.
But, if you started as Manual, and then changed to Automatic, and then once again want to change
back to Manual,
Employee Number Generation = Manual will no longer show up in your LOV for Employee Number
Generation.
You only get to do this once and cannot go back to Manual Employee Number Generation if you have
been there before.

Transfer Employees between Business Group

Dear All
Please i found something called Oracle EBS Global Deployment under HR Professional Responsibility allow me to transfer employees between 2 Business Group
but still am searching for more details
because we need transfer employees between our companies but for some reason all company defined as BG and we cannot do that.
EX: Company A Company B
if we need transfer EMP from A to B we terminate him from A and we register him in B with new num
Please any one can help me to solve it.
Thanks

Mahmed
I would strongly say you need to refer the Workforce and Management guide
Which will explain you the complete details of the Organization
You need to get the basics for this because these BG and OU are going to be the foundation for the instance. So just by know the definition will not help you
Thanks

Hire a contractor from Belgium business group to US business group

Hi All,
My client has a requirement that they want to hire the contractor from Belgium business group to US business group as full time employee.We have those employees entered as contractors in belgium responsibility.Please let me know how to handle this.
Thank,
MP.

You could take a look at Global Overseas Deployment (GOD/GOLD) functionality but that's designed to transfer employees from one business group to another. It doesn't handle a change in system person type at the same type.
Regardless of whether you use GOD/GOLD or not, the most common way of doing this is to effectively mirror the same process:
1. You terminate the contractor in the source Business Group
2. You re-create the person as an employee in the target business group
3. The two can be linked together via party_id for custom reporting (etc)
Does that help?

Creating a NEW Business Group, NO Security Profile generated

Platform : R12 running on Linux86 --> FRESH install ( NOT Vision db )
Resp : Global HRMS Super User
Problem : No Security Profile generated for NEWLY created Business Group
After creating a NEW business group ( ie. BG1 )
I am able to see both BG1 and Setup Business Group ( I an view both Business Groups via Organization screen)
When I access the Security Profile screen using the same resp "Global HRMS Super User"...
I can ONLY see the default security profile ( Setup Business Group )...
I am NOT able to view the default security profile ( BG1 ) that should have been created when I created my new business group earlier.
NOTE : If I use the VISION db, and do the exact same thing... I can see both Security Profiles.. and both Business Groups.
If I use the FRESH db, I can see both Business Groups... BUT... only 1 Security Profile... ( Setup Business Group )
WHY ??
Someone please HELP !!
Thank-you
Charlie :)

hi charlie i tried the same in my vision instance, i am able to view my BG at the security profile level,
when you query the system profiles,have you enabled the display checkbox at the responsibility level and try, or create an new responsibility and try... let me know the navigation you done clearly,

Transfer Employee From one Business group to another

Hello,
As per my understanding we do have a functionality of transferring employee from one business group to another. Can any one tell me the exact steps for the same. It is there from 11.5.10 and the profile setting we have to set is HR: Propagate Data. Can anyone tell what from here I need to do for a transfer for employee between business group.
Thanks

hello Pdelapena,
Benefit tab is not available for all BG responsibility, like india is not having the benefit tab.
Secondly if i want to go for some Long range compensation say an employee has worked for 2 yrs then he is eligible. Now technically speaking the the transfer employee should be eligible for the same. But if we terminate him and then hire him back in the new BG only the thing that is same is Party_ID apart from that is nothing same. Can you please put some suggestions.
Eg: Person Hired on 10 Jul 2007 in US BG
Person Transferred to India BG on 20 Jul 2008
Now the company plans to give a compensation to all the employee who have been part of the company for 2 yrs or plus till 20 Jul 2009
Now this particular employee will not be pulled out in the eligibility criteria.
Can any one please pass there comments
Thanks
Nitin
