Update Planner Data with New Employee Information

If a planner's employee information (such as employee number, employee name, or email) changes, then that information can be updated in the planners table in several ways.

For external source systems, the collection process looks for the employee number in the data managed by Oracle Fusion Cloud Human Capital Management.

  • If the employee number is available in the employee data managed by Oracle Fusion Cloud Human Capital Management, then its respective details (employee name and email) are extracted and populated in the planners table.
  • If the employee number isn’t available in the employee data managed by Oracle Fusion Cloud Human Capital Management, then the collection process populates the employee number as provided in the comma-separated values (CSV) file in the planners table.

Employee details are updatable only once during the initial collection process. For example, in the first collection run, 123456 is provided for an employee number. If you change the employee number to 100100 on the second collection run, then the latest employee details aren’t reflected in the planners table. To change a planner’s employee information, you can select a different employee by using the Manage Planners UI or you can mass update planners.

There are two methods to mass update planners. They both involve removing planner data and then collecting the planner data again with any changes.

Method A

  1. In one of the Supply Chain Planning work areas, select the Manage Planners task.
  2. Delete all the planners who need their employee information updated.
  3. Collect the planner data again by using the Load Planning Data from Files scheduled process.
Method B
Note: Method B will purge planner data for all planners.
  1. In the Scheduled Processes work area, click Schedule New Process.
  2. In the Schedule New Process dialog box, search for and select the Purge Data Repository process.
  3. In the Process Details dialog box:
    1. Select the Source System.
    2. Set Purge Global Entities = Yes.
    3. In the Reference Data tab, move Planners to Selected Entities.
    4. Click Submit.

    The scheduled process purges the planner data.

  4. Collect the planner data again by using the Load Planning Data from Files scheduled process.
