HCM (Human Capital Management, Payroll)

employee selection group  is marked “OBSOLETE” , BUT STILL SHOWS UP THAT IT CAN BE SELECTED IN LIST OF VALUES.  IN TIME CARD WEEK / DAY 

The Eastern Time changed in the U.S. from EST (UTC-5) to EDT (UTC-4) this past Sunday.  I have updated the time zone offset for our associated site and the IFS Timeclock Clockings are still incorrect by one hour. Any ideas on how to get the time zone update to be reflected within the IFS Timeclock?

Hello community,Does anyone knows the logic behind the calculation of those fields? Sometimes it’s the same and sometimes is not. The schedule of the employee is 39 hours per week and the absence configuration is working hours.But I don’t understand the difference between them in some cases.Regards, 

Ability to have two different non availabilities which could over lapped date and time (partial) for a resource in HCM (E.G. Sickness All day, team meeting 10.-2pm)

Hi Team,The Employee Schedule is defined for 8.5 hours per day, yet we have a requirement to set the maximum time for an absence per day to 8 hours. So, we have defined an absence type to allow only 8 hours of maximum hours per day. When we try to register an absence for a day with mentioning the ‘Default hours per day’ for more than 8 hours it gives an error message ‘Maximum Hours Per Day is 8’Yet, when we try to register an absence for a day without mentioning the ‘Default hours Per day’ it registers the absence for 8.5 hours. What are the settings which we need to define further to limit this absence only to 8 hours for a day?

Hi, Do you know how I can setup the rule for an absence type: 1 day available every quarter for employees, If not used in previous quarter, can be carried forward to next quarter- to be consumed within the same year.I've already set up the 1-day-per-quarter limit, but I need help configuring the carry-over rule.  thank you!

Hi all,I was wondering if anyone has used those limit setting parameters, and would share a short description of what these actually do / for what they are used.I could use the the VAL_PERIOD_EXT (validity period extension), where absence limits had to be valid for 2 years (instead of default 1 year). But all the other parameters sound somehow cryptic. I could not find any further description in the IFS online documentation, and I would be happy for any input. I wonder if I could use these… especially the MIN_DIMENSION (Minimal absence limit dimension) 😊.Thanks for sharing! KR,Anny  

Hello,We are trying to evaluate the headcounts as FTE Full Time Employee.In the employment area, we can add some reduction of the employment.  In case of parental leave for exemple it is quite practical.However the field “Exclude from FTE” remain a bit unclear. - it does not have any circled “i”  to indicate the field description.Checking at the Page Help, we get only those information, but nothing related to the “Exclude from FTE” This field is quite confusing,Some people think the “The reduction” is Excluded from the FTE calculation. (Reduction non-accountable for FTE) Other people thinks that the toggle will exclude the reduction time from the FTE calculation. (Reduction accountable for FTE)Does anyone has a better understanding/documentation of this field?Thanks in advance to the community for the support.kind regards,Anthony

We can control access to transferred results using access role attributes. However, after making changes to the transferred lines, I’m unsure how to reflect those changes in the payroll file. I attempted to run the transfer to payroll process after modifying the transferred lines, but I didn’t see those changes in the payroll transactions. Could you please advise? 

I need to retrieve a Person’s e-mail address.  For this use case, the Person always has a full account.  Problem is, there are multiple sources for an e-mail address here, so no single “source of truth”.Person e-mail addresses can be retrieved from person_info_comm_method* views.User (full account) e-mail addresses can be retrieved from fnd_user_property.If you update one of the corresponding fields in the interface, the other does not update.I’d love to be able to use a Person ID to retrieve an Identity/Username, then use that to get the e-mail address in the User record.  But the debugger tool withholds information about the User-to-Person mapping.I’ve checked quite a few views and tables.  Does anyone have a good source or join to do this?Thanks.

Hi all, I would like to ask, if is it possible to enable some sound effects in Timeclock?For example when I clock in there will be not only message but also some sound.Thanks for info. Romana

Hello Can someone help me please. The counters limits doens’ t decrease whereas the absence is approved and there’s no possibility to see them.  

Hello, Please can anyone let tell me if there is any way to get the absence duration calculated on a different way (eg: count from Monday to Saturday even if the employee's work schedule is Monday to Friday) than the basics that are provided today (Working Days, Calendar Days, Working Hours) when setting up the absence type?Thanks.KR

Good Morning all, In Time attendance module , is it possible to cap the number of hours per day we can register for a certain category of employee.Thank you.Christophe   

Recording a deviation day type enables a flexible, day-specific response to time bookings that take place outside the regular work schedule. This can be largely automated via the shift change or by assigning a deviation day type.Especially with regard to the planning of day types via the team calendar, the responsible planner can be given a high level of planning responsibility by entering the deviation day type. When entering the deviation day type, however, additions must be made so that it can be used more effectively.Availability of a PeriodeIt must be possible to define a period, better than just one dayThis means that deviation days can be recorded for a day or for a period. A parameter prevents the recording of data for longer than one week, for example.  Availability of Data Access As a rule, all tag types are offered for selection. However, this is not useful as only limited availability is required for the team leader.As with data access for absences, there should be a data a

Hello, wondering if someone might be able to help is there a way to setup in IFS Cloud for example Overtime would only kick in after the Employee has done 40hrs for example in a week?

In an effort to fix a Person ID creation error - our HR Department terminated an employee in IFS. After advising them we could not do what they wanted to do as far as the PERSON ID being tied to the same Employee ID on a new person ID.When we attempt the rehire process we are getting an “overlapping date intervals” error message. In this example the employee was originally hired on 12/09/2024, Terminated on 2/16/25, we are trying to rehire as of 2/17/25 and this is when the error populates 

Hi ,We have noticed a problem with our Shop Employee’s time sheets. For some reason, the Authorization of Monday – Friday seems to get removed.In the below screenshot we can see that only the Weekend days remain authorized. The green seems to have been removed from the workdays.We have confirmed that on the Friday of the week, that the hours were all Authorized. But by Monday morning, only the weekend remained Authorized.  This seems to be a problem weekly.We suspect that it might be this schedule job doing this, this job is set to execute every Monday, Afte this job gets executed the hrs get un authorized? Does anyone face this issue?? (IFSAPPS9).Best Regards,Thean

The display of attendance bookings should be visible in the Team Calendar display.For this purpose, a display layer for “Presence” should be defined in the template configuration, where the booking display can be controlled.Possible would be: first and last booking                               only bookings of type “Normal                               etc. 

Hi HCM experts,Does IFS provide an integration API to terminate an employee via a REST API?We have a third party HR system and when they terminate an employee , we need to call IFS REST API and then terminate corresponding employee in IFS.I know IFS has an assistant called ‘Terminate Employment’ to do this process by a user and an associated REST API for the assistant specific operations however utilizing assistant specific APIs are in most cases not possible or complicated for integations.

In the new Team Assignment functionality we can set up a structure of managers and team members under a team id. There is however no way of looking at the full structure to easily see how the team is built up. For example, User3 has User2 as a supervisor, and User2 has User1 as supervisor. There is no page to see these three users in a tree, similar to how Project Deliverables or Project/sub project works with the expandable navigator.Are there future plans to enhance the Team functionality to include a screen like this?

Hi Experts I would like to understand why my screen not displaying the “Valid Data Processing Purpose” checkbox & menu?I’m trying to find the menu as I see from a tutorial: Note: I have tried to set up the Personal Data Management configurations such as Data Subject, Anonymization Setup etc. But I think I need above menu to proceed further.

Hi, I’m trying to set up use of Employee Cards to register employee attendance clockings in IFS 10 IEE via Time Clock. As an example, I’ve set up the employee/person with the Card No. below, and set up the card parameters to match (I think): The time clock detail for the button is set to Card Driven Execution, but when I attempt to scan a barcode (with characters 0000001590) using a barcode reader after clicking “In”, nothing changes and the terminal still reads “Clock In: Swipe the Card.” However, if I use a standalone time clock client, I get an error saying “Employee    not a time clock user.” Scanning the barcode into a text document or other fields in IFS gives the expected result (0000001590). Unfortunately, the debug menu shows nothing when I click the button or attempt to scan the barcode. Has anyone else encountered this behavior or a workaround for it?

Hello Community!I’m trying to create a schedule and rule which includes a 50 hr weekly limit after which ALL time is converted to DT (double time).  The problem I’m having - the conversion order.  The requirement is to convert (reduce) OT time first, then reduce Normal time.  IFS is taking from Normal time first - I need the opposite.  The Conversion Default Check box doesn’t seem to change the order of conversion.  Any experience out there?  Schedule:5Dx8H MTWTFBalance Definition:Cheers, Troy

I am trying to do a null check when creating an event action, but null check does not work for a null value. But if i check a string value it work very well.
