Create a Default Working-Hour Pattern

A working-hour pattern defines the working hours, start time, and end time for each day of the week. When you load assignment records using HCM Data Loader, you can request that a default working-hour pattern record be created automatically.

Creating a Default Working-Hour Pattern

To create a default working-hour pattern for all assignments in a Worker.dat file, include this instruction in the Worker.dat file:

SET CREATE_DEFAULT_WORKING_HOUR_PATTERN Y

You may find automatic creation of default working-hour patterns helpful if you're loading many assignment records but aren't loading the Working Hour Pattern component of the Worker object. Once this default record exists, you can update it with information for each worker by loading the Working Hour Pattern component of the Worker object.
