Setting up and using the HR Update Salary Proposals Integrator

Author: Jonathan LeBlanc Date: October 6th, 2011

Recently I received a request to develop a custom interface to update the salaries of approximately 1000 employees.  My response was, “why re-invent the wheel”?  Several Web ADI Integrators are delivered out of the box including the HR Update Salary Proposals Integrator.

The HRMS Web ADI Integrators are extremely powerful as long as you know how to use them.  They can be tricky to setup since they are dependent on the settings of the browser and the security settings within Excel, however within 10 minutes I was able to get the users up and running and updating salaries for their end of year merit increases.  Within a few hours, they had entered and updated the salaries for all of their employees.

Here is a quick summary of the required setups and steps to utilize the HR Update Salary Proposals Integrator:

R12 Report Manager – New Issues (and a Resolution) with FSG Drilldown

Author: Lee Briggs Date: September 23rd, 2011
Categories: Oracle E-Business Suite R12

With the release of R12, Oracle had retired Client ADI, a tool that had been used for many things, amongst which was making FSG reports look pretty, and allowing users to drilldown into the financial information displayed on the reports to get more detailed information.

With the retirement of Client ADI, Oracle began to push Report Manager, a Report Repository tool that allows users to drill-down into FSG reports, as long as they have a report-specific Excel template assigned to them.  I’ve been using Report Manager for some time, and I think it is a great tool to provide Management with access to the financial reports they need, as well as allowing them to discover what is behind the numbers (without bothering the folks in Accounting).

Communicating Purchase Orders to suppliers as PDF documents via email has been around for quite some time but there are some features that I find are under-utilized and are often not presented to customers.  For example, did you know that you can have every PO copied to a generic email address?  What about attaching documents to the email such as Terms and Conditions or any other files?
