In
the next 3-4 posts (including this one) I’ll discuss about oracle hrms organization, oracle hrms organization classification and relevant oracle hrms tables
Organizations
in HRMS
Organizations
are used in oracle erp to represent Business Groups (BGs), External organizations
(for example, tax offices, insurance carriers, disability organizations,
benefit carriers, or recruitment agencies), Internal organizations (for
example, departments, sections or cost centers) and GREs/Legal Entities.
In
HRMS an employee assignment will be assigned to an organization to show where
he works within the business. When the assignment is created (a default
assignment is automatically created when a person is hired as an employee) the
business group is defaulted in as the assignment’s organization. This would
usually be corrected to a lower level organization to identify his department.
As many organizations as are required can be created. This will depend on the
business and to what level it is required to hold information. Organization
hierarchies can be created to show how organizations fit together in a tree structure
(oracle organization hierarchy will be covered in a separate post later)
Creating Organizations and Classifications
An
organization requires a start date and a name. You can optionally enter
location details and Organization Type. There is a seeded LOV for this field
and it is possible to add additional types to that LOV (lookup type: ORG_TYPE). The organization can be
either Internal or External. People can only be assigned to Internal
organizations (in the Assignments screen).
The
Classification of the organization allows specific information to be held
according to the purpose of the organization. Examples of classifications
are: Business Group, HR Organization, Inventory Organization, GRE/Legal
Entity, Company Cost Center, etc. The LOV for classifications comes
from the lookup type ORG_CLASS. An organization can have as many
classifications as it requires. To be able to use the organization on the
Assignment screen in HRMS it will need a classification of ‘HR Organization’.

For
each classification selected, more information can be held about that
organization. Each classification has a number of Organization Information
Types each of which comprises a set of fields. When the ‘Others’ button is
pressed in the Define organization screen, a LOV shows the information types
for the selected classification. When an information type is selected from this
list the set of fields for that org type are displayed. For example for the
Business Group classification there are information types: Business
group Info, Benefits Defaults, Budget Value Defaults, Tax Details Reference, Work Day Information,
etc. And each of these information types has a number of fields associated
with it.
Organizations in other products
Other
products within Oracle Applications use organizations. The classifications and
information types are used to ensure the required information about any kind of
organization is stored. All organizations are created and maintained using the Define Organization
screen which is owned by the HR product group. So while the data being entered
may not be HR related, it is often the case that HRMS Support would work on a
SR relating to, for example, an Inventory Organization. When you understand the
concepts of classifications and organization types and how the Org Developer DF
flexfield works, it is usually possible to investigate a problem with any
organization.
