You must set up the HR: GL Organization Name Format profile option if you want your application to create organizations in HRMS based on cost centers in GL automatically. This profile defines how the name of the organization in HRMS is generated.

The options available in this profile option are held in the HR_GL_ORG_NAME_FORMAT lookup type. You can add your own formats to this lookup if required.

Use the Application Utilities Lookups window to define organization name formats.

   To define the company cost center name format:

1. Query the HR_GL_ORG_NAME_FORMAT lookup type.

2. Add a new record.

3. Construct a name format in the Code column using the following codes:

   • $COC - Company Code

   • $CCC - Cost Center Code

   • $CON - Company Name

   • $CCN - Cost Center Name

   Any other characters included in the code are used as delimiters. For example, if you want your organization names to be constructed using the cost center name followed by the company code and separated with a hyphen, then you would enter $CCN-$COC.

4. Enter a meaning and, optionally, a description for the lookup code.

5. Save your work.
