HCM (Human Capital Management, Payroll)

At present the Time Management module is not used in my place of work for registering absences/sick days etc. We use a separate web-based software for this but are planning to import the records into IFS and use that for registering absences from now on. I plan to do this by adding all the imported records into the “Absence Registration” tab of the “Absence” screen. A new group has already been added to the Absence Configuration screen. This is then used as the “Absence Type” when the individual records are added to the Absence Registration tab.I don’t know if I need to do anything else, if there is someone who has set this up or the first time maybe they could tell me if I am missing something. I may not be performing all the steps required.Thank you.

For a survey in Apps9, the customer would like to present a list of 10 items and have the survey respondents rank their top 5 items in order of importance.  For example: Please rank from 1-5 where 1 is most important 5 of the options below for why you use this forum:Ease of useKnowledge of ParticipantsSpeed of answerQuality of answerUp to date informationOnly place I know to find the answerWillingness of participants to helpI find I can provide answersIt was suggested to me by a colleague I trustAccess to IFS experts both from IFS and the wider community So - the respondent would need to rank their top 5 of these answers.  I know I can set multiple choice with 5 answers, but this will just allow them to select 5, rather than to rank them - is there a way to rank or provide weight to the answers, please? Thank you in advanceClaire 

Hello, From the 2021 Payroll update, we have had countless issues but the one that we have been unable to fix is the tax code uplift via the constant data update.  This is specifically on the L tax codes.  When choosing the parameter T001 and value TAX(;1;9999;L) and using all active employees template, I receive a PL/SQL numerical conversion error.  I been trying to find a workaround and so I went through the employee template and it’s seems that there is a syntax issue With the the L codes parameter as all other code types work fine.  I managed to get the employees by using TAX(%;1;9999;L) which works but when creating a proposition to uplift it give a weird error about the field [used] has an incorrect value.Has anyone also had this?

Hi  We are looking to start managing our employee benefits in IFS. PMI and health care seems straight forward but Company Cars and vehicles I'm unsure how to do this. what is the usual way to achieve this in IFS? The same for Management of Vans and vehicles not assigned to employees. We are starting to use the maintenance/engineering module, is it best to just have them as an object? any help would be greatly appreciated    thanks  Nick 

Hello, Anyone loaded absences externally. Do i need to load absence limits prior that?  

When we submit an expense sheet, we can select a project activity and respective Code part postings. However, when we give an advance using the employee payments window the only option available is to tag it to the employees attached organization codes pre-posted code part.Anyone having a solution to give an employee payment selecting custom code parts. (simply need to tag the advance to a project the employee is travelling for).

I now have user pictures associated with the Person info.The picture size is 844 x 1055 pixels and by default the user picture looks zoomed out (see below)I will have to manually right click on the image and Scale - Size to fit  , to see the full picture. My question is, is there an way to set the Size to fit option by default ? or is there any option to edit the user pictures in bulk (i.e. modify the picture size in bulk)   

Hi, Im trying to give a non HR person access to training records without exposing the rest so went about creating an IAL for it with live data and then granted permission to the IAL against the users permission set. However when the user runs the quick report it only returns the data that the user has access to i.e under his position access.Previously i have done this and it has worked fine. The only thing i can think of at the moment is that because it it looking at live data and not copied/scheduled then IFS is still checking the position/data access of the user.The IAL is a union on these two views;ifsapp.pers_license_emp_profile_Ovifsapp.emp_training_history_ov Any ideas?  

Hi All,We are getting ready to welcome our 2021 class of interns in a month or so, and I wanted to set up IFS so they can log their work time. Ideally they would use the Time Card – Day screen in IFS and I would be able to run a report for HR so they can process the payroll. As I read through all the information I can find, it seems that there is basic data that needs to be set up on the back end in order to do this. I was wondering if any one has already gone through this process and would be willing to share their set up or work instructions. I was able to put in time as a test in MIGR, but I’m getting all sorts of errors trying to confirm and/or authorize the time. Any help is appreciated! Thanks,

Hello everyone, I have a customer that is using Recruitment in Apps 10. They have multiple companies set up and are using personnel requisitions to start their recruitment process. Users have got access to multiple companies so could be raising/processing personnel requisitions for different companies. Within EE there is an option to change from single company to multi company analysis on the page Personnel Requisitions. However, when the user does that the RMB option Personnel Requisition… is greyed out which means the user cannot drill down to the detail of the personnel requisition. I was surprised to see that because that function works perfectly well on the Expense Sheets page and since it is the same principle I would have expected it to work in the same way on the Personnel Requisitions page?! Am I missing a setup for this to work? Thanks in advanceMaria

I did simple IAL and deployed it..When I try to select * from ifsinfo.Get_Total_Additional_Hours - I get the below error..   IFSINFO has access to all other IAL tables.. so that isn’t a problem here I guess. Below is the IAL that was deployed..   Any idea what am I missing ? Regards,Rajesh.N

Has anyone used the Special Events Lobby Element  ‘HR My Employees Special Events List’, Data Source ;HR_MyEmployeesSpecialEvents’.We want to be able to change the Work Jubilee dates from every five years to 2, 5 and 10, but can only find a view ‘Reminder_Special_Events_Sub’ but are unsure how to implement the change. We plan to change the IFS view, but copy and create our own version of the view. Anyone done this before or can give advice on how to changer the Jubilee dates in the Code?

We are using IFS Apps 8 and are considering offering Managers the opportunity to record sickness absence directly into IFS.  Whilst this can be done via Time Card Day, I was wondering if there was an alternative or better screen for this purpose that only offered direct subordinates and not everyone in the organisation, as is the case with some of the HR screens aimed at HR personnel.Having looked at the Absence screen, it seems that you cannot restrict this just to Direct Subordinates unless there is a method that I have not identified.  

Hello We using a CTU Licenses and every time we terminate employee using “terminate employment” function we have to manually find employee in “shop floor employees” and un-tick “workbench user” box to de-activate/remove the CTU Workbench license from use. Is there another way of doing it so that when employees are terminated using “terminate employment” CTU license also could be removed from user shop floor employee account? This is fairly time consuming manual process at the time. 

Hi All,Having the below error while trying to add a leave request via ‘My absence calendar’ .It is not a permission issue. Any idea would be helpful. Thanks 

Hi Community, We are using Apps 9 UD15. It has been identified that some direct employees are experiencing issues when clocking to jobs. If the work is performed over the period 12:00:00 PM to 12:01:00 PM, the system removes 1 hour from the total labor booking, for example: Employee 1:starts production at 10:45:00 AM on 17 March 2021Stops Production at 25:42:00 PM on 17 March 2021Total labor time should be 3.98 hours, instead what is reported is 2.98 hoursI then stepped through (in TRN) adjusting the start and stop times to check the reporting entry and all were accurate until the 12:00 to 12:01 period. In the testing, if the clocking was broken out into two discrete entries, all was OK. Please find attached my walk through. Any information or suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Ken
