How do I integrate Workforce Scheduling with Inventory for task assignment?

Integrate Oracle Workforce Scheduling with Oracle Advanced Inventory task assignment to ensure that tasks are assigned only to workers who are scheduled and available during a specific shift.

These mappings ensure that workers who are scheduled for a department, assigned to the appropriate job or scheduling group, and have the required competencies, are eligible for task assignment. If no mapping is defined, all the workers scheduled for a department and shift, appears in the worker list.
