How You Configure Work Location Override

Before you can override work locations, you need to correctly configure Oracle Fusion Cloud Global Payroll element and work location override objects.

You also need to complete these time entry and processing configuration tasks in the Setup and Maintenance work area. They're part of the Workforce Deployment offering, Time and Labor functional area.

Task Description
Generate Data Dictionary Time Attributes Associate time attributes stored in the data dictionary with payroll elements and element input values, known in Global Payroll as value definitions. These associations enable Global Payroll to process the transferred time data.
Time Entry Layout Components

Create the time card fields for work location and select the data sources. You use the fields to configure time entry, review, view, approval, and calendar layouts. If you use responsive time cards, then you configure the responsive UI layout.

The delivered value set of HR work locations corresponds to organizational offices. For people who don't work in an office, such as remote workers or consultants, you can add dependent State, County, and City fields. These dependent fields enable them to provide the appropriate location details for their time entries.

You don't create layout components for third parties with this task. You do use layout components created with this task to configure these layouts:

  • Time card layouts that managers use to resolve device-related time exceptions
  • The approval notification layout
Time Layout Sets

Create different layout sets for the pages that individuals and managers use to enter, view, review, and approve time data, including work location overrides. Add override work location time entry fields when you want to let individuals or managers override the work location of the individual's assignment.

You don't create third-party device layouts with this task. You do use these layouts for these configurations:

  • Time card pages that managers use to resolve device-related time exceptions
  • The approval notification layout
Time Categories Create and edit categories that identify the time entries to use in time balances, rules, summaries, and transfers based on your time and payroll policies.
Time Balance Dimensions View the list of delivered time balance dimensions that use the US state, county, and city summation contexts, and the absence accrual period.
Time Balance Definitions

Create the time balance definitions to use in absence accrual fast formula. The time balance definition combines one of the delivered time balance dimensions and one or more time categories.

The balance dimension sums entries based on the US state (area1), county (area2), and city (area3) values. The created balance definition defines a database item that you can use in the absence accrual fast formula.
