To enter a work location and its address:Locations are shared across Business Groups in HRMS and with two other Oracle applications: Inventory and Purchasing. HRMS does not use some of the fields in the Location window. These fields are disabled for HRMS users. For example, the Legal Address check box is read-only and supports future functionality in Oracle Financials.
Enter location addresses in the Location window.
For information about Oracle Purchasing locations see: Defining Locations.
To enter a work location and its address:Enter the name of the location, and a description if required.
To simplify Duty Station conversions and ensure that the Duty Station code appears as the Location name in the List of Values for the Organization and Position windows, use the Federal GEO Location code as the Location name
Note: You cannot use the same Location Name twice. If you are creating a new Location for one that exists, enter a new name. You can enter a variation of the original one, for example, by adding another number, letter, or date to it.
Check the Global Site check box if you are using the Federal GEO Location code as the Location name.
Uncheck the Global Site check box if you want the location to only be available within the default Business Group of your current responsibility. Accept the default if you want the location to be a global location and therefore available to all Business Groups.
If you are setting up a global location, the location name must be unique across all Business Groups.
If you are setting up a location for one Business Group, the location name must be unique within that Business Group and all global locations, but does not have to be unique across all Business Groups.
Note: You cannot amend the Global check box once you have set up your location.
Select a national address style from the list. A window opens with the address format for the selected country.
Enter address information in this window and choose OK.
Note: Default address styles are predefined for many countries. You can add address styles for other countries, if required.
Select a time zone if you want to associate a time zone with the location.
Note: When you select a time zone, ensure that it corresponds to the location's address.
Choose US Federal Location Info Extra Information. Choose the Duty Station from the List of Values.
The Duty Station list contains over 47,000 values. You may want to restrict the list before displaying (enter a few of the numbers for the duty station code followed by a percent sign).
Note: If you entered the Federal GEO Location code as the Location Name then you must select the same Federal GEO Location code in the US Federal Location Extra Information.
Save your location.
Making a location inactive prevents users from selecting it.
To remove an address from the Location list:Enter an inactive date from which the location is no longer in use in your organization.
You can delete locations that have not been used. If a location is still in use, but you do not want it to be selected today or in the future, enter an inactive date
