In Oracle HRMS, you set up each physical site where your employees work as a separate location. If you use the Configuration Workbench to configure your basic enterprise structure, then you only need to create locations for the additional organizations you require.
See: Key Concepts for Representing Enterprises
You can set up:
Global locations: These are available in all Business Groups.
Business Group locations: These can only be used in one Business Group.
Business Place locations (Korea only): These can only be used in one Business Place.
Similarly, you enter the addresses of external organizations that you want to maintain in your system, such as employment agencies, tax authorities, and insurance or benefits carriers. When setting up internal or external organizations, you select from a list of these locations.
This approach has these advantages:
You enter information about each location only once, thereby saving data entry time.
Central maintenance of locations ensures consistency of address standards.
Your work sites exist as separate structures identifiable for reporting purposes, and for use in the rules that determine employee eligibility for various types of compensation and benefits.
Oracle HRMS uses the location associated with an assignment to determine its social security affiliation. It is recommended that you associate all locations with one or more appropriate GRE using the Mexico HRMS Statutory Reporting Hierarchy. Oracle HRMS determines the GRE of an assignment based on the hierarchy you have associated the location with.
