Requirement Mapping & Custom Workflow Design

Now we are comfortable with ABC of workflow (refer our earlier post ABC of Workflow). As of now we know most of the workflow components and their uses.
Lets design a simple custom workflow process and step-by-step we will make it more complex.
Basic Requirement
 Our business requirement is when a person applies for a leave it should go his/her supervisor for approval and once it is approved save the information in database (say in custom table*). If the leave gets rejected, don’t store any information in database.

* => Here we are storing the information in custom table instead of absence management table of oracle apps. Here our objective just to demonstrate how we can use function activity. Hence to keep the discussion simple and to avoid using oracle API,we are considering custom table.

Visual Representation of User Rating in XML Publisher

Oracle BI Publisher provides end users with a template-based, easy-to-use publishing solution. It is based on standard, well-known technologies and tools so  users can take advantage of it easily. Users will have a set of familiar tools such as Adobe and Microsoft Word/Excel to create and maintain their own report formats based on data extracts. Users will then be able to send the report outputs to destinations of choice, email, fax, printers and others.

Oracle BI publisher can be easily integrated with Oracle Application.
Basic Requirement

We need to create the visual representation of rating depending on their performance appraisal so that user can compare them at a glance.  The business scenario is shown table below.

How to Make EIT Read-Only for a Responsibility

Extra Information Types (EITs) are a type of descriptive flex-field that enable to set up unlimited amounts of extra information Oracle HRMS.

Extra Information types are an optional component of a responsibility. By assigning EITs to a particular responsibility we are allowing users to view/change the extra information.

Here we will discuss about how we can make EIT a read-only which is already assigned to a responsibility.

Basic Requirement

Our basic requirement is to make person EIT read-only from a responsibility say "US HRMS Manager".

Remember "People & Assignment Form" is editable(user can view/modify data) from this responsibility.
