As a system administrator, you can configure the application when you implement the product so that your users can submit position and personnel data to the National Finance Center (NFC).

Complete the following steps to configure the application for NFC.

Prerequisites

• Contact NFC to:

  • Request generic agency identifiers: sign-on identification, user identification, and transmission identification. The position, personnel and address files you transmit to NFC include these identifiers.

  • Notify NFC if you plan to use Oracle HRMS to generate automatic within-grade increases and mass salary actions such as annual pay adjustments.

1. Define the position key flexfield.

   See: Setting up the Position Key Flexfield for NFC Implementations

2. Map the position key flexfield segments to the business group US Federal Org Information.

   See: Entering Business Group Information

3. Specify the NFC implementation option.

   See: Entering Business Group Information

4. Enter the identification information that you obtained from NFC for the following lookups:

   • GHR_US_SIGNON_ID

   • GHR_US_USER_ID

   • GHR_US_TRANSMISSION_ID

   See: Adding Lookup Types and Values

5. Enter values applicable to your agency for the following lookup types:

   • GHR_US_ACCT_STATION

   • GHR_US_WORKING_TITLE_CODE

   • GHR_US_OFFICIAL_TITLE_CODE

   • GHR_US_SPCL_EMP_CODE

   • GHR_US_NFC_AGENCY_CODE

   See: Adding Lookup Types and Values

6. Disable the lookup values that your agency does not use to facilitate faster and more accurate data entry.

   For example, if users only select your agency's OPM Agency Code (Agency/Subelement Code) when defining the position title, you can disable the remaining values.

   See: Removing Lookup Values

7. For each NOAC, select the Required option for the Remark Codes NFC lists as required.

   See: Associating Remarks to NOACs

8. Define the personal address flexfield. Optionally, define value sets for the county field.

   See: Defining the Personal Address Flexfield for NFC

9. Define a Job Control Language (JCL) file from the predefined one.

   See: Defining a NFC Job Control Language Interface

10. Define a NFC Personnel Actions Outbound Interface and a NFC Position Outbound Interface from the predefined ones.

    See: Defining NFC Personnel Actions and Position Outbound Interfaces

11. Add the request sets to your request group:

    • NFC Personnel Data Outbound Interface

    • NFC Position Outbound Interface

    See: Request Groups Window

12. Schedule the NFC Personnel Data Outbound Interface and NFC Position Outbound Interface request sets to run daily.

    See: Submitting NFC Personnel Actions Data, Submitting NFC Position Data

13. Add the Synchronize NFC Outbound Interface Errors concurrent program to your request group.

    See: Request Groups Window

14. If you do not want to receive a workflow notification when the application generates the position or personnel extract or when the application encounters an error, you can change the workflow attributes.

    See: Changing a Workflow Attribute

15. Define master record and individual positions.

    See: Defining a Position
