HCM (Human Capital Management, Payroll)

I am using Apps 10 and there is a view called “Employee” that when I select everything from it in Oracle it does not return a lot of Employees that are in IFS. Some users who are visible  in all the relevant screens in IFS are not returned when I select from this view.I cant find any logical unit that is linked to this view. I need to know what screen in IFS is linked to this view so I can see why these users are not displaying in the select statement.Hopefully someone can help.

Hi,On the pers_related view there is a column called Related_id, does anyone know if this field should be incremental or not as I am unable to work out the logic.Thank you.Nikki

how we can set password complexity in ifs(means password must contains  special charcter,upper case an lower case)

We upgraded to Apps 10 last October.  I have a user using sticky notes on Time Card Day.  Now in 10 the note will appear and you can type in it, etc…, but when you leave the page the note is gone.  I do not believe it is a permissions isssue as she can use the notes on other screens and the same thing happens when I am logged in as App Owner.  Any one else run into this?

Hello all We’re trying to implement Team Calendar, first set up the Team Calendar Setup. But when trying to show up Team Calendar, Populate button is disabled (greyed-out) What can be the reason? Thank you, Wiktor

I am configuring the incident distribution list, however I seem to missing a piece of the puzzle. I have the basic data configured, the distribution list is populating on the incident after it is confirmed / acknowledged…  However the state of the distribution list item is “To be alerted” even though the notification type is automatic.  I believe that where I am missing the mark is when configuring the event conditions.  My expectation is: when the conditions of the distribution list configuration have been meet, the corresponding distribution list will be populated on the incident.  Because the notification type is automatic, the email will be generated by the system per the configuration of the event action.Am I going in the right direction? 

I’m try to add a column to a user profile. But is showing as below. Any idea? 

Hello,  does anyone know if it is possible to export the Organization Chart from IFS10 other then .png format ?  When printed as .png it is not readable. We'd like to export to another file extension, for instance .vdx or .vsdx  (MS Visio) or .xslx (MS Excel).Thank you in advance,Adriaan

Is there any option to change employee status as bulk? Or the only option is do it one by one? 

I’m looking for a place in IFS to store what tools/equipment specific engineers have possession of and record things such as calibration due dates against them. Tools and Facilities seems like the only relevant place but you can only assign to tool to a company and not a specific employee.   Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hello We have a problem with or our clocking devices and group accounts showing as supervisors in Employee File. All the mentioned accounts have Access in Graphical Organizational Structure and their Supervisor Type is “Person” is there a settings in IFS that we could define that only Supervisor Type “Employee” could be considered Supervisor in Employee File?   

I was looking into the survey functionality. It does seem like it requires the user setup to be able to take a survey.  For employees that might not have the access to the system, are there other means of entering the survey on someone’s behalf? 

Hello, Does anyone know why IFS has removed the ability to view the employees in Preliminary Status from HR Manager Rights? That becomes too complicated in setting up the New Employee Group for all HR personnel. 

Hello IFS Community! I am a new starter within my organisation and I have worked with other ERP’s, however it’s a new experience trying out IFS and understanding it. My question may be very simple for you experts, what determines Employee File → Summary tab → Supervisor field? I suspect that it has to be either: Graphical Organization Structure or Graphical Position Structure, I struggle to clearly understand difference between the two. Please share your knowledge, and if any online resource available it would be great start for me. Kind Regards Arthur

What is the best way to rehire a former employee (same company, same employee id)?  I have tried using the wizards for: New Employee, Single and Group Employee Assignments, Schedules and Rules Assignment, and Extend Employment.   We use Time and Attendance, as well as shop floor reporting, so there are many places that need a new record when rehiring (Employee Status, Employee Period, Org/Position Assignment, Schedule, Manufacturing Labor Class, etc.).  Ideally, I wish we could use the New Hire wizard, as the employee may be coming back with a completely different role that requires different records.  Any suggestions?

We are considering to move our production operators Skills Matrix to IFS. Is anyone using IFS for this purpose? Which modules?The purpose is to have it easy to use for production leaders who work with it daily.

Is there any institute or good Training source that offers training for new user of IFS. In HR & Payroll area.

Hi,  I would like to ask if anybody knows (or done it) how would I add a new country to "citizen of" list under Employee area » Personal tab » Misc tab » Citizen Of. I have been asked by our HR and have no idea if this is possible or not. Can somebody help, please? Thank you Kind Regards Kate  

We are using Apps 8 for time recording and payroll and would like to know if it is possible to amend time registration information AFTER it has been authorised and transferred to payroll without having to re-open the payroll.The amendments required do not relate to payable elements so there would be no change to the payroll payment.

We’re using Apps 8 Personnel Requisitions for management to notify HR of recruitment requirements.  They raise the requisitions themselves but this area of the system does not appear to provide the same security as other areas within HR.  By this, I mean that we would have expected a requisitioner to only be able to see their own or their team’s requisitions.  Currently, they appear to be able to see everything.  Is there a way of applying positional type controls to control access to this area of the system?

HelloI want to get the right holiday wage code in the time card result tab based on the normal working hours that are in an employee std. schedule.So I set up a Public holiday compensation schedule with a calculated result based on the std. wage code that day.When I look in the schedule of that day I can see that the PHC day type is filled in according to the holiday schedule.The problem is that according to the online help the code should appear in the result tab but it doesn’t appear… Kind regardsDavid

Hi all, How are you all reconciling the Employee Travel Claims, e.g. posting created by posting controls TX3 against EP3?In IFS8, these posting were in the same currency, and therewith simple to reconcile. However, here now in IFS10 (and as I understood, also in IFS9), the currency of these postings are different when the expenses occurred in a different currency than the local currency you will refund the employees. (E.G. cost occurred in EUR, but we will refund employee in DKK)What are you doing? Are you creating a manual voucher to offset the balances? 

Hi, We are looking at expense in IFS but think they may not suit our business. We have a system where managers can only approve upto their level of authority- for some this is 0, some it is 400 other 750 etc.  Can the system have a sense of value or does it only work on your manager approves your expenses irrespective of value.

We have a  part time worker that doesn’t work on Mondays, when there are 5 bank holidays falling on Mondays in the year. Can IFS APPS10 calculate how many additional days annual leave this person should have or is this a manual process?
