To define an LRU for HCM, you must:

  1. Create an LRU

  3. Define the LRU HCM information

Before you begin

Before you create the LRU, you must:

  • Define a Mexican legal entity to which this LRU belongs.

  • Use the Legal Addresses task to define a legal address for the LRU you're about to create.

  • Define the required jurisdictions for the LRU you're about to create.

Create a Legal Reporting Unit

To create an LRU:

  1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go here:

    • Offering: Workforce Deployment

    • Functional Area: Legal Structures

    • Task: Define Legal Reporting Units for Human Capital Management

  3. On the Select Scope window, select Legal Reporting Unit and select Create New in the Legal Reporting Unit field.

    An LRU with the same name as the previously created legal entity is created by default. This LRU is designated as the main legal reporting unit for the legal entity.

  5. To create another LRU for this legal entity, click Create on the Legal Reporting Units page.

  6. Complete the fields on the Legal Reporting Unit page, noting these aspects:

    • When you select a territory, the Jurisdiction field displays the identifying jurisdiction, such as Mexico Social Insurance. If you have defined additional jurisdictions, you can select one from the list.

    • Indicate if this is the main LRU for this legal entity.

  7. Click Save and Close.

Define the Legal Reporting Unit Registrations

Set up registration information for a legal reporting unit (LRU) or a tax reporting unit (TRU) in the territory where it operates. The registrations defined at the LRU-level represent the accounts for remitting and reporting statutory deductions for social insurance. If the LRU interacts with other legal authorities, you must create additional registrations as appropriate.

Before you create the registrations for the legal reporting unit you have created, you must set the scope for the tasks related to the LRU.

Note: If the scope is already set for the task, the Scope column displays the LRU name.

To set the scope and define the LRU registration:

    2. On the Select Scope window, choose the Legal Reporting Unit and select Select and Add in the Legal Reporting Unit field.

    3. Click Apply and Go to Task.

    4. On the Select and Add: Legal Reporting Unit page, search and select the legal reporting unit you have just created and click Save and Close.

  2. Select Go to Task for the Legal Reporting Unit Registrations task.

  3. Click Create.

    • Select the Jurisdiction, for example Mexico Social Insurance.
