Retain Your Employment Changes While Changing the Effective Date

When you change the effective date of a transaction in employment flows, by default, all your employment-related changes are reset as of the new effective date.

However, if you want to retain the changes even after you change the effective date, you need to enable the ORA_PER_EMP_RETAIN_CHANGES profile option. The changes are retained when you use these flows:

• Local and Global Transfer

• Create Work Relationship

• Convert Pending Worker

• Add Assignment

• Change Location

• Promote

• Transfer

• Change Assignment

Note: Person changes will also be retained, but only in the Local and Global Transfer flow.

The changes are also retained when the transaction approver changes the transaction date in the employment flows as part of Edit the Transaction feature.

Points to Consider

• Retaining your employment changes while changing the effective date is an opt-in feature that can be controlled by using the ORA_PER_EMP_RETAIN_CHANGES profile option.

• If you change the transaction date, and the date is earlier than the previous assignment record or later than the future assignment record, your employment changes won't be retained. In this case, the current application behavior of resetting your employment changes will continue.

• If you are using the AutoComplete feature in responsive Employment flows where employment changes are retained, you need to check your AutoComplete rules. The AutoComplete rules related to defaulting are not impacted. However, the AutoComplete rules related to validation may be impacted and must be checked again.
