To remove an Absence Reason from an Absence Type in Oracle Fusion, you need to modify the configuration of the Absence Type within the Absence Management module. Absence Reasons are optional fields that provide additional context for why an employee is taking a particular type of leave (such as “medical,” “personal,” or “family emergency”).
Here’s a step-by-step guide to removing an Absence Reason from an Absence Type:
1. Navigate to Absence Types Setup
- From the Home Page, click the Navigator icon (hamburger menu) in the top-left corner.
- Go to Setup and Maintenance.
2. Search for Absence Type Configuration
- In Setup and Maintenance, search for the task Manage Absence Types.
- Select the Manage Absence Types option.
3. Select the Absence Type
- From the list of Absence Types, find the one you want to modify (e.g., “Sick Leave” or “Vacation”).
- Click Edit to open the details of the Absence Type.
4. Access Absence Reasons Configuration
- Once inside the Absence Type details page, navigate to the Reasons section.
- This is where Absence Reasons (e.g., “Illness,” “Emergency”) are associated with the Absence Type.
5. Remove the Absence Reason
- In the Reasons section, locate the Absence Reason you want to remove.
- Select the Absence Reason and click Delete or Remove (the option may vary depending on the version of Oracle Fusion you’re using).
- Confirm the removal of the Absence Reason from the Absence Type.
6. Save the Changes
- Once you have removed the Absence Reason, click Save and then Close to confirm the changes.
- Ensure that the absence type configuration is saved successfully.
7. Test the Changes
- To ensure that the Absence Reason has been removed, initiate a mock absence request or review the employee’s absence types.
- Check if the previously linked Absence Reason is no longer available as an option when selecting the absence type.
8. (Optional) Review Impact on Existing Records
- If any absence records were created using the Absence Reason that was removed, they will remain in the system unless you choose to update those records. However, moving forward, the Absence Reason will not appear for new absence entries.
This process will effectively remove the Absence Reason from the selected Absence Type, ensuring that users are no longer able to select that reason when submitting leave requests.
