Overview of Loading Read-Only Time Cards Using HCM Data Loader

You can view and report on third-party time cards for historical purposes in Oracle Fusion Cloud Time and Labor.

Use the Time Record Group business object for the Workforce Management product area and HCM Data Loader. Also use HCM Data Loader to modify any third-party time cards you loaded this way.

Tip: To load third-party time cards for processing and payment, use the Time REST resources.

Calculated Time

Any applicable time calculation rules run for loaded time cards and generate calculated time. If no time calculation rules apply, calculated time is created by copying reported time.

Time Data Doesn't Transfer to Consumers

The data from third-party time cards loaded and modified with HCM data loader is for reference. It doesn't transfer to time consumers and doesn't get used to pay people or to bill customers.

Supported Time Card Periods

The load process supports time card periods that can get linked to time processing profiles, which are weekly, biweekly, and monthly. The Resubmit Time Card process can create single-day time cards when it splits an existing time card because of retroactive changes. These single-day time cards still fall within a weekly, biweekly, or monthly time card period. Single-day entries also need to be part of these supported time card periods.
