Change Indicator for Primary Attributes in Employment

You can change the primary indicator to make a nonprimary work relationship or assignment as primary in the responsive Change Assignment flow.

Primary Work Relationship

Here are some points to consider when you change the primary indicator for the work relationship:

• You can make a nonprimary work relationship as primary by changing the primary indicator value from No to Yes. However, you can't change the primary indicator value from Yes to No to make a primary work relationship as nonprimary.

• You can't change the primary indicator value when there is a future change in the primary work relationship status for a person.

Primary Assignment

Note: The Primary Assignment field is hidden out-of-the-box on the responsive Change Assignment page. You must use the HCM Experience Design Studio to enable this field.

Here are some points to consider when you change the primary indicator for the assignment:

• You can't correct the primary indicator, you can only update the indicator with a date effective update.

• You can make a nonprimary assignment as primary by changing the primary indicator value from No to Yes. However, you can't change the primary indicator value from Yes to No to make a primary assignment as nonprimary.

• You can change the primary indicator value from No to Yes, but after having changed the value, you can't revert back to the No value. If you want to revert to the earlier value, you need to cancel and restart the Change Assignment flow.

• You can't change the primary indicator value when future employment changes exist for the selected nonprimary assignment or the current primary assignment.

• You can't change the primary indicator value when you perform the End Assignment and End Temporary Assignment actions.

• You can't change the primary indicator value of an inactive assignment.
