Introduction
The document serves as a summary of the results of the Conference Room Pilot (CRP 2.2) and details all business flow
diagrams developed during this process.
Conference Room Pilots workshops were conducted for the following business flows
Procure to Pay
Human Resources
Credit to Collections
Project Costing
Conference Room Pilot 2.2 focused more on the underlying details below the standard Oracle Business Flows to draw out
detailed requirements and to give the teams a consistent methodology for capturing this data.
As such, teams were asked to consider the following topics during the Conference Room Pilot workshops for each of the
detailed flows:
Interfaces
Data Migration
Security
Integration Touchpoints
Documents attributable to the process
Reports
Portal Requirements
Additional Setup requirements
Workflows

Chart of Accounts
The Chart of Account (Accounting Key Flexfield) structure forms the foundation for all Oracle Applications with an
accounting impact. It is used to record accounting transactions, balances and to perform financial reporting.
The chart of account structure may contain up to a maximum of 30 segments however, such a large number of segments is not
recommended. Typically, a chart of account structure containing approx 4-8 segments is generally sufficient for financial
reporting purposes.
Design Council has signed off the Chart of Account Framework. The following Accounting Flexfield structure will be
configured within the applications moving forward.

Multiple Organisations
The diagram below depicts the CRP 2.2 multi-org structure based on the Design Statement of Works document. This forms the
foundation for the proposed structure within the Oracle Applications but does not represent the final solution.

Sets of Books
Within the Oracle Applications, the set of books is considered to be the highest level for financial reporting. It partitions and
secures GL accounting information such as journal entries and account balances and is defined by:1.
Calendar
2.
Currency
3.
Chart of Accounts
To determine the need for a multicompany organisation structure, and therefore multiple sets of books, it is necessary to
understand the financial information for each agency.
You need multiple sets of books if one of the following is true:
You have agencies that require different Chart of Account structures to record information about transactions and
balances. At this stage, the proposed solution will have a single chart of account structure to be used for all entities.
You have agencies that use different accounting calendars. The proposed solution will have a single calendar (1 July 30
June) with 12 monthly periods and one adjusting period for year-end finalisation of accounts.
You have agencies that require different functional/base currencies and report in another base currency

Budgets to Approval
Process Summary
For the Whole of Government (WoG), agencies are responsible for the development of their budgets, complying with all
Department of Treasury and Finance (DTF) budgeting requirements and deadlines. The Office of Shared Service (OSS) is
responsible for managing the Oracle Financial Analyser (OFA) as the WoG Budget tool, developing and maintaining common
templates within the system.
As the discipline of budgeting and forecasting is agency-specific, budget data prepared in OFA with be developed using
differing types of budgetary techniques, including Top Down, Bottom Up, Zero-Based and Marginal. In addition, agencies
may have their own budgeting criteria, or budgeting perspectives for modeling their budget. External data or non-financial
BP080 OSS Future Process Model v3.0.doc

data may need to be loaded into budgeting system for such purpose. For example, FTE rate for each agency is needed from HR
system for FTE costs budgeting.
During the budgeting cycle, there is a budget approval processes within each agency to review and approve the budget
submitted from subordinated budget users. This process may be repeated several times until the budget data is approved and
finalized. Once this process is completed the Agency is responsible for:
Submitting the approved budget data to the shared data set, held by the Office of Shared Service (OSS), for
uploading into the General Ledger;
Producing operating and capital budget submissions for DTF and uploading adjustments in the Adjustment
Tracking Module (ATM) of Treasury Information Management System (TIMS).
Timely budget data submission and uploads are essential for up-to-dated information required to support financial reporting
and analysis.
Descriptive Overview of Budgeting & Forecasting
Oracle Financial Analyzer (OFA) allows all people with budget responsibilities within an agency to have direct access to the
system. Line Managers will be able to prepare budgets and submit their budget information directly into the OFA budgeting
system for consolidation, analysis, review and approval.
Within each agency, there is an internal review and approval process during the budgeting cycle. Management at differing
levels will review the budget data submitted by subordinates, then approve or reject the budget data.
Once the budget is finalized the agency will submit the data to the shared data set, maintained by OSS, for upload into the
general ledger. Additional data files will also be generated by the Agency for upload into the ATM of TIMS, satisfying DTF
budgetary requirements.
Process Flow
Page 11 of 117
Company Confidential
The diagram above depicts the processes of extracting information from the General ledger to OFA and the development and
maintenance of budget templates in OFA. The Oracle Applications General Ledger Super User and OFA Super Administrator
in OSS are responsible for these processes.
This process starts with extraction of CoA structures and financial data from the GL to OFA. The standardised GL Link for
integration between Oracle General Ledger (OGL) and OFA, allows for Chart of Account (CoA) information and financial data
balances to be extracted and loaded into OFA, as required for purpose of budget development and forecasting.
Once the extraction from GL is complete, using the OFA loading processes the data is loaded into the shared database by the
OFA super administrator. From the GL update, OSS budget team members are able to revise existing templates or develop
new budgeting templates within OFA. These budgeting templates are then distributed within OFA for Agency use.
Page 12 of 117
Company Confidential
The process of budget development is agency specific. Budget data prepared in OFA can be developed using differing types of
budgetary techniques, including Top Down, Bottom Up, Zero-Based and Marginal.
A majority of Agencies develop their budgets using a bottom up approach. Data is developed at a lower level, such as
individual cost centre, program or activity. Analysis of the budget can be performed a number of ways, from the traditional
organisational structure to business oriented budgeting. As an agency budget data will be consolidated within OFA, reports
can be generated from the system to effectively analysis this data. For example, analysing the comparison between the
developed budget to budget targets. To facilitate budget development by Agencies, external data can be loaded into OFA.
For example the Public Service Award rates for Travel. This external data can be loaded at the OFA Super Administrator level
and then shared across Agencies.
The diagram above depicts the internal budget approval process within each agency. Within the OFA system architecture,
data for each agency is stored and managed in a centralised shared database.
Page 13 of 117
Company Confidential
When Line Managers have finalised entering their budget data into Budget templates, they will need to update an approval
log in OFA. This is to provide information on budget status and budgets that require review and approval. An OFA report on
this approval log can be generated and published to the portal page for review by the Agencys Budgeting Officers and
Approvers of the submitted budgets.
The Approvers of submitted budgets will be required to log into the OFA system to review the budgets. After the budget data
is reviewed, the budget will either be approved or rejected. The budget status will then have to be updated in the approval
log. If the budget is rejected and requires additional work this will also have to be indicated in the log with a reason.
For budget data to be upload into the General Ledger module for reporting and analysis, an Agencys approved budget needs
to be submitted to OSS shared data set. The diagram above depicts the process for submitting a budget from an Agency to the
OSS shared data set.
Agencies are required to freeze the budget data to ensure that no further updates occur to the approved budget. The Agency
Administrator submits the approved budget into the shared dataset at the agency level. This process is required to align the
budget to the CoA structure within the General Ledger.
The Agency Administrator submits the shared dataset controlled by the Agency to the shared dataset controlled by the OSS.
Page 14 of 117
Company Confidential
The process flow diagram above depicts the main tasks involved in importing the approved budget data from OFA into the
GL system. This write back process will commerce after agencies have submitted their finalized approved budget to the OSS
shared data set.
Using the standard OFA-GL Link set up, the OFA super administrator in OSS will submit the data write back to the GL. This
data will be written back to specific budgets defined in the GL.
During the write back process, CoA account combinations for the budget data will be created in GL. As part of this process it
is necessary to maintain the budget organisations, after the budget write back to the GL, to ensure that the new combination
are assigned to a budget organisation.
After this write back process is competed, standard reports can be generated or a FSG reports can be created by Agencies as a
means of validating the loaded budget.
Page 15 of 117
Company Confidential
OFA standard functionality allows for the process of developing and planning budgets data to be Agency specific. For
examples differing budgetary approaches with can be taken are:
Target budgeting using a top-down approach. In this technique budget data is entered at a high level and driven
down to cost centres. Cost centre Managers then provide the relevant detailed budget information and align their
programs to the allocated budget target.
Bottom up approach. For this technique Line Managers develop their budgets based on the Agency objectives at a
detailed Project or Cost Center.
To assist with the formulation of an Agencys budget, WoG and Agency specific budget models can be developed within OFA.
This modeling can includes the use of budgeting rate tables for budget planning and where necessary the upload external data
via flat files to assist with this process.
Agencies are required to load their approved budget into the Adjustment Tracking Module (ATM) of Treasury Information
Management System (TIMS). This is a Department of Treasury and Finance (DTF) budgetary requirement. The diagram above
depicts this process.
To allow for budget data to be uploaded into the ATM of TIMS in the correct format, several mapping tables will be defined
within OFA. The first mapping sequence will map the GL CoA accounts to the TIMS accounts. This mapping table will allow
several GL accounts to be mapped into a single TIMS account. This table is populated during data loading.
The second mapping sequence will map the TIMS accounts to the Counter Party Identifier (CPID). Most Accounts can be
mapped to a single CPID. However for accounts that have to be mapped to several CPID, the amount for these accounts can be
split based on a ratio defined by each agency. The Agency Administrator will be required to review and adjust the mapping
prior to exporting the budget data.
The Agency Administrator will submit a task to export budget data from OFA after reviewing all of the mapped information
in their shared database. The text files generated will be used for uploading into the ATM of the TIMS system.
Page 16 of 117
Company Confidential
For Agencies using the Oracle Project Costing Module, project budgets developed within OFA will need to be interfaced back
to the Project Costing for reporting purposes. The diagram above depicts this process.
In order to facilitate the process, the budget within OFA has to be consolidated at an Agency level. A mapping table will be
used to correlate the projects defined within Project costing against the projects defined within OFA. Agencies will be
responsible for reviewing and updating the mapping table prior to generating the data files from within OFA. Once
completed, Agencies will need to submit a task to export the budget data from OFA into a text file format for uploading into
the Project Costing module.
All variance analysis reporting will be performed out of the General Ledger module. Users will be provided access to run
reports from either the core application or by running reports using Oracle Report Manager. The later has functionality for
publishing reports to the portal page.

Receipt to Assets
Process Summary
Receipt to Assets business flow demonstrates the business processes for recording fixed assets. This flow enables users to
manually enter assets, transfer invoice lines marked as assets in accounts payable as Mass Additions to Oracle Assets, transfer
capitalizations from Oracle projects, and use ADI and/or WebADI to upload Asset lines from other sources thru Excel
worksheet. This also allows exporting of Asset information into a file than can be sent to 3rd party systems.

Assets to Depreciation
Process Summary
The Assets to Depreciation business flow demonstrates the business processes for maintaining fixed assets and calculating
depreciation. This flow enables users to perform maintenance for individual assets or a range of assets. The business flow also
covers recording of physical inventory, transfer, reclassification, adjustment, revaluation, retirement and calculation of future
depreciation expense. Agencies use iAssets to raise and accept requests for transfer. Again this flow shows the usefulness of
webADI in entering transactions as manifested in processing stocktake and dataloader in Asset Revaluation.

Credit to Cash
Process Summary Credit Approval to Customer
As part of the Credit Management process, there is a need to ensure that customers credit limits are set up. The end user can
set up credit limits while creating the customer information, or update it at a later stage. Based on an analysis of the history of
the customer, statements, collections, past due and aging, the credit limits may be changed. The fields act only as reference
data fields unless Order Management is used to raise sales orders and invoices there from. Order Management is not in scope
for the detailed design and build/test stages of this implementation.

Statement to Collections
Process Summary
As per the business requirements of the agencies and OSS, reminders need to be sent to the customer when the invoices
remain unpaid beyond the due date. In case of delay in payment, collecting officers would initiate collection activities, that
need to be recorded. In a few cases, customers are assigned to debt collection agencies and debt recovery charges are incurred.
Also, disputes may be raised by the customers, which need to go through a process of approvals, if they are to be converted
into credit memos. OSS would like to have the capability of creating and sending statements if and when required.

Plan to Project Budget
Process Summary
Plan to Project Budget demonstrates the business process flow covering the creation and maintenance of a project, as well as,
the addition and maintenance of a budget of a project.
This sub-flow supports the manual entry of projects into the Oracle Application and the interaction with OFA for the creation
of an initial budget. In addition the sub-flow also supports the maintenance of both the project details and the supporting
project budget.
Processes identified as being conducted within the Agency environment, on occasion, may in fact be conducted within the
Shared Service Centre. This event arises when the Agency concerned is deemed a light project user, and has a SLA
agreement with the OSS. This occurs when the Agency may not have all of the required knowledge or access to support the
entry and maintenance of both the project and budget.

Maintain Project Budget demonstrates the business process flow covering the amendment and alteration of a project budget.
Initial budgets are loaded from OFA, using the PM5827 Import Project Budget process, however changes to project budgets
are identified and processed using this business flow. Where project budgets have been amended within the PA application
the process includes a workflow process to approve any budget changes. The budgets held against projects provide a
reporting aspect only and are not used for any encumbrance or expenditure checking.
Where budgets are altered within PA, the change is uploaded to the OFA tool to enable the change to be effected within the
GL.
Execution to Asset
Process Summary
Project Execution to Asset process flow demonstrates the business process flow covering the creation and maintenance of
expenditure transactions, as well as the passing of costed expenditures to the Oracle Fixed Assets application.
The sub flow supports the manual entry of expenditure batches, processing of integrated transactions and the interface of asset
and financial data to Oracle Fixed Assets.
The OSS operates in an agent capacity and is responsible solely for the processing of data in a timely manner, on behalf of the

Process Labor costs demonstrates the business process covering the creation and entry of labor cost transactions. This process
is used, where the Project costing module, is not responsible for the calculation of labor costs against a project, using costing
rates for specific individuals, but relates to the processing of whole dollars against a project. The calculation of the charge is
done outside of the Oracle application and entered as a charge against the project, as a pre costed transaction.
It is perceived that Agencies will either use this process to attribute labor costs to projects or alternatively us the PM5857.1
Process Labor Hours process. Each of the processes are exclusive and do not operate in conjunction with each other.

Procure to Pay
Requisition to Receipt Direct for Procurement
Process Summary
This flow follows the replenishment process for inventory-planned items where requisitions are created in Purchasing. An
Agency that supports Inventory Management will have the replenishment of inventory performed by Purchase orders or
Blanket Release that can be automatically created and managed through to receipt. Requisitions can be either generated from
the Min/Max planning program and are submitted for review and approval by HR Position Hierarchy or created manually
following the similar approval process. Purchase Orders and Blanket Releases can be auto-created from requisitions and also
created as Standard Purchase orders. This process also covers the copying of previous PO documents to a newly created one
and purchase order cancellation. PO documents are approved depending on HR Position Hierarchy and distributed to
Supplier by the Suppliers preferred method of transmission. Inventory item is received from Suppliers and entered into
receiving and located within the controlled sub inventory.
NOTE#

Process Summary
This flow facilitates the requisitioning process. It covers managing of user profiles, searching catalogs, shopping lists, selecting
payment methods and managing requisitions.
The process commences with the Requisitioner managing their individual profiles. It then provides the Requisitioner with the
ability to search I-Procurement shopping lists and establish their own personal shopping lists.
Requisitioner - can obtain quotations themselves or refer request to Buyer (Sourcing) to obtain quotes on their behalf.
Requisition Approver Approval (generally financial or separation of duties based) for Requisition. (Note Requisition may be
auto approved depending on Financial and Procurement delegation of Requisitioner To be determine through Agency
specific Approval Groups and Approval Assignment.)
Buyer (Sourcing) obtains quotes and undertakes sourcing either in their own right or on behalf of others initiated either
from a non-ERP direct approach (e.g. phone call, email, etc), in which case they obtain quotes and then prepare the
Requisition; or via an incomplete Requisition forwarded by a Requisitioner via Internet Procurement.
Buyer (QA) Quality assurance of procurement process prior to issue of Purchase Order. May be involved in the sourcing

No accounting entry is created in the general ledger for non-received purchase orders. That is, purchase orders that have been
approved and no receiving transaction or invoices have been applied.
At Period End the Uninvoiced Receipts Report is used to analyze the uninvoiced expense receipts before accrual of these
receipts.
The Receipt Accruals PeriodEnd process creates periodend accruals for the uninvoiced receipts for the expense
distributions. Purchasing creates an accrual journal entry in General Ledger for each uninvoiced receipt.
When opening the next period, Purchasing automatically reverses the accrual entries.
In this flow, Requisitions are submitted for review and approval by HR Position Hierarchy. Purchase orders are auto-created
from requisitions and also created manually. This process also covers the copying of previous PO documents to a newly
created one and purchase order cancellation.
PO documents are reviewed and/or approved by HR Position Hierarchy and distributed to Supplier by the Suppliers
preferred method of transmission.
Goods/Services are received from Suppliers and are either entered into receiving (Core Applications) or Internet Procurement.
Where a number of Agencies are sharing an Operating Unit, document security is required. It is proposed to secure documents
such as Purchase Order, Contract Purchase Agreements (CPAs), Blankets, Requisitions and RFQ/Quotations to specific
Agencies. Currently standard functionality is unable to secure the above documents by Agency where multi agencies share the
same Operating Unit. The method proposed for this is based around each Agency being associated to an Inventory
Organisation. Security would be based on the Agencys Inventory Organisation, the users Menu Responsibility and HR
Location (Deliver To Location).
Note#: There are to be no Purchase Orders issued in core Procurement without a Requisition either manual requisition or
on-line.

A summary of each agreement is listed below.
Awards, Agreements
& Agency Specific
Agreements
Workplace
Agreements
General Order
Minimum
Conditions
The relationships between these agreement types can vary depending on the ruling of each condition within these types.
Some examples of the relationships are as follows;
BP080 OSS Future Process Model v3.0.doc
Where a condition does not exist in any of the Awards, Agreements, General Orders, etc. then the condition values in the
Minimum Conditions policy document are to be used,
Custom & Practice Conditions may override conditions in an employees Award or Agreement,
Due to the many variations in the way these agreement types are dealt with a manageable solution is required. This solution
is a combination of Payroll configuration with associated Fast Formula and manual intervention by Payroll staff to ensure that
the correct payment or absence calculation occurs.
Award, Agreement & Agency Specific Agreements
Award, Agreement & Agency Specific Agreements is a hierarchical-based structure where the Agency Specific Agreements are
subordinate to Agreements and Agreements are subordinate to Awards. This hierarchy is consistent with the majority of the
Awards & Agreements but there are a select few where the hierarchy is different. For the select few that the hierarchy is
different (i.e.) CALM, Department of Fisheries and Zoo.
Custom & Practice Conditions
Custom & Practice Conditions is a statement that defines selective conditions that an employee or range of employees may be
entitled to. This condition may be as a result of an employee receiving an entitlement condition for a period of time for
example, but was not entitled to the condition based on the Award. The employee/s negotiate an agreement to continue the
condition or a modification of it.
Workplace Agreements
A Workplace Agreement is a specific agreement that relates to an employee. This agreement can contain various conditions
based on the employment contract agreed to by both the employee and government agency.
Minimum Conditions
Minimum conditions are a policy document that defines the minimum working conditions that an employee in the
government service is entitled to. Note, in most cases the Awards, Agreements, etc. will at least be equal to or better than the
minimum conditions.
General Order
A General Order is a policy statement that defines a condition or range of conditions that can affect any number of employees
based on rulings within the Order. The Order can either override conditions within Awards/Agreements, Minimum
Conditions, etc. or substitute these conditions if the value is better than in the Awards/Agreements, etc.
Other Considerations
The Award Detail Reckoner spreadsheet that specifies the Award/Agreement conditions will be used as the basis for
determining the Award/Agreement configuration. There may be a requirement to store additional conditions based on the
existing conditions; for example, a Condition of Standard Hours per Day may be used to store Standard Hours per Week.

Within Oracle Payroll a configuration tool called a User Defined Table (UDT) will be used to store the configuration of an
Award, Agreement or Agency Specific Agreement. The UDT is Date Tracked to enable retrospective changes in Award or
Agreement modifications. Therefore, when a Retro pay process is performed, retrospective payments can occur. In addition,
retrospective changes can dynamically change leave accruals when respective absence conditions change.
The People Group flex field will contain an either the Award, Agreement or Agency Specific Agreement name in the 1st
Segment. The users will enter short name Award or Agreement names into the People Group flex fields. For example;
Process Summary
Refer to BF140 Payroll to Payment Administration Grade Progression v1.08 for details of this flow.
Process Summary
Voluntary deductions will be managed from three perspectives. An employee thru Employee Self Service will enter specific
voluntary deductions. There are also voluntary deductions that will be entered into the system by OSS staff. A list of these
voluntary deductions will be provided in the BF162 Payroll Deduction Element Configuration document. Employees may
also manage payment to other entities, which are not included in ESS Voluntary Deductions, and OSS requires manage the
Voluntary Deductions within the core application. This Process Step will describe all three ways of managing payments to
the different deduction houses.
With regard to allowances, there are specific allowances that will be managed through Employee Self Service. Manager Self
Service will be used if the employee does not have access to the system and his supervisor has agreed to enter the allowance
claim for his subordinate.
Overpayments
Process Flow
Process Summary
An overpayment is a monetary gain for which there is no entitlement, legislative or other, be it as direct cash or
paid time. An overpaid salary is any payment paid to an employee through the payroll to which the employee is
not entitled.
Overpayments will in most cases be identified through the retro pay process and other quality assurance
processes identified for payroll reporting. Other overpayments identified outside this process will require
transactions to be entered. Some examples of overpaid salaries include:
Leave without pay where there is no opportunity to make adjustments out of the following pay period.
An employee may be placed on the incorrect salary step, which is adjusted to the correct salary step.
An employee may be paid leave or allowances to which they are not entitled.
An overpaid salary can only be recovered from an employees salary once the employee acknowledges they have
been overpaid and permits the OSS to recover the outstanding debt via their pay.
Refer to BF140 Payroll to Payment Administration Overpayments v1.05 for further details of this process flow.
Salary Packaging
Process Flow
Process Summary
Salary packaging arrangements are entered into by the agreement between the employee and employer. Once agreed, the
employee arranges with the Salary Packaging provider to administer the package on the employees behalf.
The information updated for the employees salary packaging element is updated by the appropriate salary packaging
providers either via an interface or report. It is envisaged that all ongoing maintenance of salary packaging element is updated
through the interface between the provider and the Office of Shared Services (OSS).
Salary Packaging Elements
Salary Packaging elements are to be created for both pre-tax and post-tax deductions for each of the salary packaging service
providers.
These elements require a pay value within the input values as the dollar value is uploaded or downloaded via the interface.
The values are shown separately on the employees payslip and reported as salary packaging.
Employees can only employ the salary packaging provider appointed by the agency or employer agency to administer their
package. The eligibility criteria for the element are used to validate the provider against the agency and allow the employees
to be eligible to the element if the criteria are met.
The Salary packaging provider calculates and maintains the employees package. Therefore the Pre-tax and Post-tax element
will be sent to OSS.
An employee has the choice to salary package superannuation deductions directly to GESB/FESA super, rather than choosing
the Salary Packaging Provider. If this occurs the Pre tax superannuation element will be updated by GESB via the GESB
interface into the superannuation elements.
Employees must request salary packaging changes for superannuation funds such as Pension scheme and Gold state schemes
via GESB only. These funds are not available for employees to update and maintain information via ESS due to the fixed
criteria for managing these funds.
Pre-Tax Weststate contributions can be altered and maintained by the employee through ESS and the updated value is
processed to GESB via the interface file.
Eligible employees may salary package deductions for GEHA housing. Agencies who allow employees to salary package
these deductions will require specific details to be forwarded to OSS for updating into the system. GEHA elements will not be
available for employees to update via ESS.
Eligible employees may salary package deductions for rental arrangements for Main Road housing. Main Roads who allow
employees to salary package these deductions will require to be forwarded to OSS for updating into the system. The MR
elements will not be available for employees to update via ESS.
The following elements have been identified and are reflected in the BF 162 Deductions.

Input Tax Credits (ITC) that are paid to employees will be sent back to the salary package provider by Finance. Finance is
responsible for the calculation for terminated employees and a report will be provided to OSS every 3 months for entry. Email
provided by M. Stagg23/8/05 Salary Packaging ITC
Reporting Requirements
The following reports have been identified for Salary Packaging:
Report to identify employees salary packaging amounts that have exceeded 50% of the employees base salary. This report is
used for quality assurance purposes (Payroll Report). When an employee has been identified that their package has exceeded
the OSS will contact the employee and the agency to advise.

Process Summary
In Oracle HRMS, a job or post held by an employee is referred to as an Assignment. It is the central
concept that relates employees to the structures in which they work and the compensation and benefits
for which they are eligible. It is made up of many attributes: organisation (e.g. department, division,
region), GRE (government reporting entity) job title, position, location, grade, payroll frequency (i.e.
weekly, fortnightly or monthly), salary basis (monthly or hourly), pay amount, and user-definable
attributes to differentiate one assignment from another. See Figure 1.
Each assignment may have its own rate of pay and other unique compensation and benefits eligibility
requirements. Additionally, each assignment may report into a different part of an organisation, be
funded differently, accrue different leave accruals and may require costing to be different.
Each assignment may require using Employee Self Service (ESS) and having the appropriate manager
approve the transaction by Manager Self Service (MSS). Managers may also require having access to view
and updating their subordinate employees personal and assignment records
Whenever an employee holds more than one assignment in Oracle HRMS at any given point in time, this
is referred to as an employee holding multiple assignments. An employee can have multiple
assignments, but only one is the primary assignment. All others are secondary assignments. Managers
will be able to view the personal and assignment information of their subordinates. However, in
Employee Self Service, some functions may not be available to secondary assignments
For further details of this process flow please refer to the BF140 Multiple Assignments
Process Summary
The end of year processing for Australia is focused on the reconciliation and production of the plain paper Payment
Summaries and the electronic lodgement with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
Employers have a legislative requirement to report to the ATO, details of payment summaries issued to employees during the
taxation financial year. Payment Summaries must be processed in compliance with the Australian Taxation Office Guidelines
and legislation.

The employees current assignment is eligible to the element according to the element links defined for the absence type
element;
2.
In addition to this criteria an additional value will be defined against the absence type in Oracle to determine if the absence
type should be visible in the self service applications. This is to allow leave types such as Workers Compensation to be
entered by OSS only via the professional user interface.
