Lookups
provide lists of valid values for certain items of information. This has two
key advantages:
- It ensures
that all users use the same terminology, which makes it easier to inquire
and report on the information.
- It speeds up
data entry because you can enter just enough to identify the value, and
the system completes the entry.
In Oracle HRMS, a list of values is
called a lookup type. Each value comprises a code, a meaning, and
sometimes, a legislative tag.

Utilities Lookups
A
number of lookup types are included in Oracle HRMS. Some contain codes as
startup data. You can never delete these codes, but you can change their meaning.
For some lookup types, you can also disable the codes that are supplied. Your
ability to disable codes and add new codes is determined by the access
level of the lookup type:
- User - You can add codes and you can
disable supplied codes
- Extensible - You can add new codes, but you
cannot disable supplied codes because the system uses them
- System - You can neither add codes nor
disable supplied codes. You can only change the meaning or description of
supplied codes
To add lookup values to an existing lookup type:
Query the lookup type to which you want to add a value. You cannot add values if the access level is System.
If you want to add lookup values specific to the security
group/business group linked to your current responsibility, un-check the Global
Security Group check box. Existing lookup values are available to all business
groups.
Enter the code, meaning and optionally a description for each value. Leave the Tag column blank.
Caution: Do not change or remove any legislation codes that are shown in the Tag column for existing lookup values. This may have implications elsewhere in your HRMS system.
If you do not enter a start date, the new lookup is valid immediately. If you do not enter an end date, the new lookup is valid indefinitely.
