Employee Expenses Command Center Configuration

Setting Up Employee Expenses Command Center

See Employee Expenses Command Center Overview.

The Employee Expenses Command Center configuration setup must be completed after the installation and common configurations are completed as described in My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 2495053.1, Installing Oracle Enterprise Command Center Framework, Release 12.2.

See Setup and Configuration Steps for Employee Expenses Command Center.

For information about data security, see How Data Security Works in Employee Expenses Command Center.

How Data Security Works in Employee Expenses Command Center

This topic describes how data security works to display expenses data on the Employee Expenses dashboard.

Data access to the Employee Expenses dashboard is controlled by the logged in user. The logged in user can see their own expenses and the organization's expenses. Security is automatically applied when a user accesses the dashboard.

• If the user accessing the dashboard is a supervisor, then a security filter is applied on the SUPERVISOR_ID attribute with the list of supervisor IDs of the direct reports and their employees, if they are also supervisors.

• If the user accessing the dashboard is not a supervisor, then a security filter is applied on the EMPLOYEE_ID attribute with the employee ID of the logged in user, which enables the logged in user to view the expenses that they have created.

Setup and Configuration Steps for Employee Expenses Command Center

Complete the following steps to set up the Employee Expenses Command Center

1. Ensure that FND user is associated with an employee so that the appropriate employees in your organization can use the Employee Expenses dashboard. In the Users window, Person field, the correct employee must be selected.

2. Set profile options.

3. Load the Employee Expenses data.

Profile Options for Employee Expenses Command Center

See Setup and Configuration Steps for Employee Expenses Command Center.

Set a value for each user profile option to specify how Employee Expenses Command Center controls access to and processes data:

Profile Option Name	Description
AP: Currency for ECC Employee Expenses	This mandatory site-level profile option controls the conversion of the expense amounts for all expenses into the specified currency. You must set the profile option value before running the Employee Expenses Command Center Data Load concurrent program. If the profile option value is null, then the full load will fail. The Default Currency metric on the Employee Expenses dashboard shows the value that is set for this profile option. Important: If you change the profile option value, then the Employee Expenses Command Center Data Load concurrent program must be run with the Full Load option.
AP: Employee Expenses Historical Range for ECC	This site-level profile option determines the number of fiscal years that the Employee Expenses Command Center Data Load program must consider to load the expenses data. If the profile value is set as 5, then the program loads expenses data of the last 5 fiscal years. The default value is 1. If the profile option value is not set, then the data load program loads expenses data of the last 1 fiscal year.

Loading Employee Expenses Data

See Setup and Configuration Steps for Employee Expenses Command Center.

To load the data for the Employee Expenses Command Center, run the Employee Expenses Command Center Data Load concurrent program, which is located under Manager Self Service - Employee Expenses > Other > Concurrent. This program loads data to the ap-emp-exp (Employee Expenses) data set.

Run the concurrent program from the Submit Request window.
