Revolutionizing HCM: Introducing the New Areas of Responsibility Usage Feature

Exciting news in the world of Human Capital Management (HCM)! We’re thrilled to introduce a game-changing feature: Areas of Responsibility (AOR) Usage, born from a customer-submitted idea. This enhancement is set to streamline HCM Approvals and Journeys, making your experience more efficient and tailored.

What’s New?

1. Enhanced AOR Utilization: Specify the Usage attribute in your AORs to focus on the relevant product areas. This means no more unnecessary involvement of all representatives in every task.
2. Simplified Journeys and Approvals: The new feature supports specific settings for HCM Approvals and Journeys, ensuring only relevant representatives are involved, thereby optimizing workflow efficiency.

Usage Scenarios Explained

1. Recruiting Representatives: Now specifically used in Journeys, not in HCM Approvals.
2. HR Representatives: Can approve termination transactions without being part of Journeys.
3. Learning Evaluators: Access people in specific jobs without being involved in checklist tasks or approvals.

Key Enhancements

• No More ‘Work Contacts’ Hassle: As a Journeys user, you no longer need to enable the “Include in work contacts” option, streamlining the process and reducing confusion.
• Diagnostic Tools: Use the “Person Diagnostic Auto Correct” report to ensure your Usage values are up to date post-upgrade.

Tips and Considerations

1. Choose Wisely: When creating new AORs, select the appropriate Usage setting based on its intended purpose.
2. Leverage Templates: Use Responsibility Templates for defaulting Usage values and Work Contacts settings.
3. Prepare for the Future: The classic UI version of Manage Areas of Responsibility will soon be deprecated. It’s recommended to transition to the responsive version.

What’s Next?

Stay tuned as we continue to enhance the OTBI Areas of Responsibility subject area for future reporting capabilities.
