Schedule Calculate Absence Accrual Process

By /

In Oracle Fusion, the Calculate Absence Accruals process is used to compute leave balances for employees based on their defined absence plans, such as vacation or sick leave. You can schedule this process to run periodically (e.g., monthly, bi-weekly) so that absence balances are kept up-to-date without manual intervention.

Here’s how to schedule the Calculate Absence Accrual process in Oracle Fusion:

Steps to Schedule the Calculate Absence Accrual Process:

  1. Log in to Oracle Fusion:

    • Use your credentials to log in to Oracle Fusion.
    • Ensure that you have the necessary permissions, such as Absence Administrator or Payroll Administrator, to schedule processes.

  2. Navigate to Scheduled Processes:

    • From the Home page, click on the Navigator icon (usually in the top-left corner).
    • Scroll down to the Tools section and select Scheduled Processes.
    • Alternatively, you can use the search bar at the top of the page to search for “Scheduled Processes.”

  3. Schedule a New Process:

    • In the Scheduled Processes work area, click on the Schedule New Process button.
    • A pop-up window will appear, prompting you to search for a process.

  4. Search for the Calculate Absence Accruals Process:

    • In the pop-up window, search for the process by typing “Calculate Absence Accruals.”
    • Select Calculate Accruals and Balances for All Absence Plans from the search results.

  5. Set Parameters for the Process:

    • After selecting the process, you’ll need to define the parameters for the accrual calculation:
      • Effective Date: Choose the date up to which you want to calculate the accruals. Typically, this is the end of the payroll period or month.
      • Payroll: Select the payroll or absence plan group for which you want to run the accruals.
      • Person/Assignment: You can leave this blank to calculate accruals for all employees or specify a particular employee/assignment if necessary.
      • Process Mode: Select Final if this is the final calculation, or Trial if you want to run a trial calculation before the final process.

  6. Schedule the Process:

    • After setting the parameters, click on Advanced in the bottom-right corner of the pop-up window to access scheduling options.
    • Under the Schedule tab, choose Using a schedule to set up a recurring process.

  7. Define the Recurrence:

    • In the Frequency section, set the recurrence based on your organization’s needs. Common options include:
      • Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Custom.
      • For example, if you’re running this process for monthly accruals, select Monthly and specify the day of the month (e.g., the 1st or the last day of the month).
    • Define the Start Date and an optional End Date for when the process should begin and stop running.

  8. Submit the Process:

    • Once you’ve defined the schedule, click Submit.
    • Oracle Fusion will confirm that the process has been scheduled successfully, and you will see the scheduled process in the Scheduled Processes list.

  9. Monitor the Scheduled Process:

    • You can monitor the status of the scheduled accrual process by returning to the Scheduled Processes work area.
    • The system will display whether the process is In Progress, Completed, or if there are any errors during the run.

  10. Review Results (Optional):

    • Once the process completes, review the Accrual Results to ensure that the accruals were calculated correctly.
    • Navigate to My Client Groups > Absences > Manage Absence Records to view the updated accrual balances for employees.

Key Considerations:

  • Accrual Frequency: Ensure that the frequency at which you schedule the process aligns with your organization’s accrual policy (e.g., monthly accruals for vacation leave).
  • Effective Date: Always choose the correct Effective Date to ensure that accruals are calculated for the appropriate period.
  • Monitoring: Regularly monitor scheduled processes for any failures or errors, especially during the initial scheduling phase.

Best Practices:

  • Trial Runs: If running this process for the first time or after a policy change, consider running it in Trial mode to ensure accuracy before finalizing the results.
  • Automate for Efficiency: Use the scheduling functionality to automate accrual calculations and reduce manual intervention, ensuring balances are consistently up-to-date.
  • Audit and Reporting: After accruals are calculated, consider running reports to audit the results and ensure compliance with absence policies.

By scheduling the Calculate Absence Accruals process, you can automate the periodic calculation of leave balances, ensuring accuracy and timeliness in managing employee absence plans.
