Shared HR and Full Install HR

Before Oracle HR is installed, the HR data used by other Oracle Applications is maintained through the HR foundation responsibility or the ‘shared more’ of HR. This consists of the set of HR objects that is common to several non-HR Oracle Applications. Because the HR application owns and maintains some of the fundamental components of the applications suite-for instance Organizations, Locations and People – there is need to provide a subset of HR functionality when other Oracle applications are installed.

The full set of HR features and functions delivered with the Oracle Applications eBusiness Suite available to licensed HR users is the Full Install of HR.

The differences between Shared HR and Full Install of HR are as follows:

Function	Difference with Full HR
Organizations	No Difference
Jobs	Limited functionality – only Job Evaluation, Requirements, Valid Grades and Extra Information
Positions	Positions are not date tracked
Grades	No Difference
Locations	No Difference
Career Management	No Difference
People and Assignments	1.       Only Employees and Contingent Workers are supported 2.       No support for Applicants or Contacts 3.       The data that can be entered for a person is limited to basic details such as Name, Gender, Social Security Number, Birth Date and Contact Details. 4.       Employees can be terminated but only the end can be entered. The Actual Termination Date is set to be the same as the Final Process Date. 5.       Employee Assignment is limited to basic details like: ·         Organization ·         Job ·         Position ·         Supervisor 6.       No further information can be entered, for instance salary information
Addresses	The generic address form is used, so there is no country specific layout of address format
Security	No Difference
Datetrack	1.       Datetrack is simplified in HR foundation 2.       Although the data is stored in the same tables, e.g., PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F, PER_ALL_ASSIGNMENTS_F, the behavior of the forms ensures that there is only a single dated row for each distinct person, assignment or position
APIs	Limited set of APIs
Reports	There are no standard reports, only security list maintenance programs
Legislative Validation	Legislative checks are disabled when running HR foundation
