ORA_CMP_SAL_REUSE_ASGN_ACTION_OCCURRENCE Profile Option

To make salary reuse the action occurrence identifier of the assignment whenever a matching action and reason exists for the salary start date, enable this option.

We recommend that you enable this profile option only if you’re using responsive pages and the enhanced Employment Info page released in 22C. Enabling the profile option can affect the action occurrence identifier of the previous salary. For example, you've salary on 2010, 2016, and 2021.

• When an HR specialist creates a salary for 2022, the processing tries to reuse the action occurrence identifier for the 2022 salary and 2021 salary.
• When they change the 2021 salary, processing tries to reuse the action occurrence identifier for the 2021 salary.
• When they delete the 2021 salary, processing tries to reuse the action occurrence identifier for the 2016 salary.

Whenever someone creates or deletes a salary, processing accesses the previous salary to correct the end date. Thus processing also tries to reuse the action occurrence identifier for that salary. Reuse of action occurrence happens whenever people create or correct salary independently using tools, actions and pages, and processes:

• Tools examples:

  • HCM Data Loader or HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader and Salary object
  • Salaries REST API
  • Download Salaries

• Responsive action and page examples:

  • Change Salary (Line Manager)
  • Change Salary (Compensation Manager)
  • Edit Salary from Compensation Info
  • Salary History
  • Local and Global Transfer
  • Combined Correction and Deletion Employment Details (introduced in 22C update)

• Process examples:

  • Run Rates-based Salary Process
  • Run Grade Step Progression
  • Synchronize Grade Step Rates
  • Workforce Compensation Transfer (only when posting salary, without assignment changes)
  • Mass Legal Employer Change

• Classic action and page example:

  • Change Salary

When assignment has multiple changes on the same day with the same action and reason, we link the salary to the most recent action occurrence. The action occurrence won't get reused while posting assignment and salary changes from Workforce Compensation, because it posts salary changes before assignment changes.
