Adding REG_REGION to Human Resources Transactions

The following two examples show how to associate regulatory regions with human resources transactions:

Example - Job Data

To associate REG_REGION to a person on the Job Data pages:

  1. Add the REG_REGION field to the record JOB.

  2. Make the REG_REGION field a required field.

  3. After adding the field to the record, define a prompt edit from the standard view (REG_STANDARD_VW).

  4. Add this field to the page JOB_DATA1.

Now, when you prompt on the Regulatory Region, you see only those Regulatory Regions to which you have security access.

Example - Health and Safety

We associated Regulatory Region with incidents in Health and Safety. Regulatory Region is a required field that controls the values that are returned by all the Health and Safety setup pages that have Set ID as their primary key. For example, if the Regulatory Region for an incident is specified as GBR (United Kingdom), then only GBR codes for Dangerous Occurrences appear on the Incident Details - Description page (HS_INC_DESCRIPTION). Health and Safety incidents have REG_HANDS_VW as the prompt edit.

WARNING:

All linked setup values for an incident must belong to the same regulatory region. If the Regulatory Region is altered (such as when you are operating in update/display mode), and the Set ID for the new Regulatory Region is different from the original, all linked setup fields and values are deleted to prevent inconsistent data. For example, the Set ID for the Regulatory Region USA is USA, and for GBR it is GBR, if the Regulatory Region for an already established USA incident is changed to GBR, then all of the linked details on the Incident Details pages are lost. The system prompts you that the Regulatory Region is about to be changed, and you can choose whether to proceed before the values are deleted or not.

In Health and Safety, the following Set IDs are mapped for each regulatory region, as shown:

Regulatory Region Set ID

BEL

STD

CANAB

CAN

CANBC

CANBC

CANMB

CAN

CANNB

CAN

CANNF

CAN

CANNS

CAN

CANON

CAN

CANQC

CAN

CANSK

CAN

DEU

DEU

FRA

FRA

GBR

GBR

JPN

STD

NLD

STD

USA

USA

These regulatory regions were mapped to these Set IDs on the TableSet Control − Record Group page (SET_CNTRL_TABLE1).

All regulatory regions that have region-specific sets of codes or values in the Health and Safety system are mapped to a Set ID of the same name. This group includes CANBC, DEU, FRA, GBR, and USA.

The other regulatory regions that aren't mapped to a Set ID of the same name fall into two additional categories. Except for British Columbia, the Canadian provinces have no specific provincial codes or values in the system and are mapped to the Set ID CAN.

All the other countries that are supported directly in PeopleSoft Human Resources and that don't have any region specific codes or values in the system are mapped to a generic Set ID value of STD. This group includes JPN, BEL, and NLD.

Additional Transaction Modifications for Regulatory Region

We've added Regulatory Region to the following PeopleSoft Human Resources components:

  • Position Data, with REG_STANDARD_VW as the prompt edit.

  • Job Openings, with REG_STANDARD_VW as the prompt edit.

  • Establishment, with REG_STANDARD_VW as the prompt edit.

  • Org Defaults by Permission Lst, with REG_STANDARD_VW as the prompt edit.

  • Disability/Accommodation Request, with REG_STANDARD_VW as the prompt edit.
