How do I map an Oracle HCM job to a role?

You map an Oracle HCM job to a role using the Manage Resource Roles task.

A Human Capital Management (HCM) job indicates the designation of a person in the deploying company.

A job-to-role mapping associates an HCM job with a specific resource role.

Note: Only one resource role can be added based on the HCM job-to-role mapping.

This mapping simplifies the task of assigning resource roles to new employees or contingent workers, resulting in time and cost efficiency.

For example, an employee joins the Sales department as a sales representative and the employee's job is already mapped to the Salesperson resource role. In this case, the employee is automatically converted to a resource and is assigned the mapped resource role. Thus, you can place new employees faster in organizational and reporting hierarchies.

Here's how to map HCM jobs and roles:
