The latest release of Oracle HCM Cloud (Release 13) has undergone a lot of changes. While one can always go through the Oracle HCM Cloud Common R13 New Feature Summary document, I would try to highlight some of the very basic and most prominent changes.

One such change is the Look and Feel along with the way we used to work with FSM (Functional Setup Manager).

Until Release 12 we used to Click on “Setup and Maintenance” and were allowed to search for any tasks/ subtasks. However, starting Release 13 one needs to first choose the proper module area and then only we are allowed to navigate to specific tasks

You choose one of the available Modules from the Drop Down List and once done then only you are allowed to proceed.

For this example we will choose the Workforce Deployment Module and once we select the same from the dropdown we see that it displays the details that this specific option is used to Manage People and their Employment related details including payroll.

 

A typical FSM Page in Release 13 appears as

 

At this points there are few things to notice they are:

  1. Asterisk in Front of Functional Areas (Mandatory Setups)

This signifies that this Functional Area is a mandatory step in order to complete configuration.

In the above screenshot Initial Users, Enterprise Profile , Legal Structures, Organization Structures are few of the Functional Areas which are mandatory.

  1. Shared

If we have “Shared” mentioned in front of any of the Functional Area then it means that this particular Functional Area is shared by multiple modules.

In the above screenshot Initial Users, Enterprise Profile, Legal Structures, Organization are “Shared” implying they are used by other modules too. Elements and Benefits, Payroll, Workforce Predictions, Time and Labor, Workforce Management are some of the Areas which are solely associated with the Workforce Deployment Setup

 

  1. Grouping

One very good enhancement in Release 13 in the FSM area is the Grouping of Tasks. As you can see that there are several tasks like “Manage Payroll Task Configuration”, “Manage Default Process Configuration Group Profile Option Values” , “Manage HCM Extract Lookups” , “Manage HCM Extract Definitions”, “Manage Payroll Flow Patterns” and “Manage Payroll Process Configuration” are grouped under HCM Data Extract

 

Also you must have noticed that there is a drop down button

Once you click on this it gives a lot of options as shown below

 

A very brief description of the features is mentioned below:

  1. View Documents

Gives detailed documentation on Associated Features, Setup Task Lists and Tasks, Related Business Objects along with Related Enterprise Applications.

The documentation is available in PDF, HTML and Excel formats.

  1. Edit Implementation Status

We also have a link named Edit Implementation Status which allows us to change the status of the particular Task. By default it displays the current status.

 

  1. Setup Data Report

This option allows us to run the Setup Data Report Process and also allows us to view the History of all previous runs.

 

  1. Export

This option allows us to export the current setup. There are two actions available under this process “Create New” and “View All”. The Create New option creates a new export package while the View All lists all previously exported ones.

 

  1. Import

This option allows us to import setups from another enviornment. There are two actions available under this process “Create New” and “View All”. The Create New option allows importing of setup data from another environment (Instance) while the View All option displays all previously imported ones

 

  1. Compare Setup Data

The Compare Setup Data option allows us to compare two setups. This step comes in very handy whenever we perform a migration. Two configuration packages can be compared and anything which has been missed gets highlighted, which in turn can be duly corrected in time thereby saving lot of time and ensuring that the environment has not lost anything due to migration.

Like the Export and Import functionality this feature also allows the Create New and View All options

Summary

This is in short a very brief overview the changes which FSM (Functional Setup Manager) has undergone. Some of the features like Grouping of Tasks, Setup Data Comparison seems the most important takeaways for me.

Do share yours.
