Redwood - Role-Based Performance Goal Approvals

When managers add or change any goals in the employee’s performance goal plan, they can now send them to their next-level manager for approval. 

A manager can make changes to the employee’s goal plan only after:

• The employee has completed making their changes and submitted the goal plan for approval.
• The manager has either approved or rejected the goal plan and completed the approval process.

In addition to the above tasks, the manager can: 

• View that the goal plan is in pending approval status when they submit it for approval. 
• Withdraw the approval request.
• Receive alert notifications when there’s a request for more information on the goal plan from their next-level manager. 

The next-level manager receives a notification when there’s a goal plan awaiting their approval. They can approve it, edit it, reject it, or request for more information.

When a manager is working on an employee’s goal plan, the employee can’t do these tasks:

• They can’t make any changes to the goal plan until their manager completes their changes on the goal plan and gets them approved. 
• They can’t view any new goals added by the manager until those goals are approved. 
• They can’t view the approval transaction details, although they can view that there are pending approvals.

NOTE: This feature is only available in Redwood and must be enabled through a profile option.

This feature enhances the usability of goal approvals with role-based approvals for goal changes or additions.

Steps to Enable

To use this feature, you need to enable Redwood Goals Center by enabling the profile options indicated in this table:

Profile Options to Enable Redwood Goals Center

Profile Option Code	Profile Option Display Name	Value
ORA_HCM_VBCS_PWA_ENABLED	Enable VBCS Progressive Web Application User Interface	Y
ORA_HRA_PERFORMANCE_DOCUMENTS_AND_GOALS_REDWOOD_ENABLED	Enable Redwood Performance Documents and Goals Center	Yes

NOTE: The Performance Document, Check-in, and Goals Center features are closely connected. So, the Redwood version of these pages can all be enabled or disabled only using the common ORA_HRA_PERFORMANCE_DOCUMENTS_AND_GOALS_REDWOOD_ENABLED profile option. These features can't be enabled individually.

You also need enable the profile option, ORA_HRG_PERF_GOAL_ROLE_BASED_APPROVL.

For more information about setting profile option values, see the Set Profile Option Values topic in the Implementing Applications guide on Oracle Help Center.
