Overview of HCM Job-to-Role Mapping

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

A job-to-role mapping associates HCM jobs with specific resource roles. You can establish job mapping for a resource role in Setup and Maintenance, Manage Resource Roles task. 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:

  1. Verify that the HZ_AUTOMATE_RESOURCE_CREATION profile option is set to Yes.

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

      • Offering: Sales

      • Functional Area: Sales Foundation

      • Task: Manage Administrator Profile Values

    2. Search HZ_AUTOMATE_RESOURCE_CREATION and ensure that it's profile value is set to Yes.

  2. Define HCM jobs and their structures, as required. For more information about defining jobs, see Related Topics section. You can also map existing jobs.

  3. Map the HCM jobs to their roles.

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

      • Offering: Customer Data Management

      • Functional Area: Resources

      • Task: Manage Resource Roles

    2. You can create a role with the required details by clicking Actions > Create or edit an existing role by clicking Actions > Edit.

    3. Scroll down to Job Mapping and click Actions > Add Row.

    4. Search the HCM jobs defined in Step 2 in the Job column.
