1. Define Geographies To build a geography reference data for a country we must have: i) Geography structure (Country structure) ii) Geography hierarchy (Actual data) We can create either manually or using import functionality (both structure & data can be imported). In FSM page >> Tasks >> Search >> Manage Geographies >> Search Country code starts with 'GB' We get the geography structure (State >> County >> Local Admin >> Town >> Zip) from structure defined and geography hierarchy from hierarchy defined. Make sure all the items are in Completed status.
2. Define Enterprise Structure • Enterprise structure is Customers organization structure. • The ESC (Enterprise Structure Configurator) is an interview-based tool which guides us through the configuration of Enterprise structure. • Access the ESC using the 'Establish Enterprise Structure' task • Use ESC as part of your setup to define the organisation structure, job and position structures. • Using ESC we can: - Create all organisational structures at one time - Create multiple configurations to test multiple scenarios - Review the enterprise configuration prior to loading it - Roll back the enterprise configuration after loading it - Automatic organization (organization hierarchy) tree gets created

4. Manage Enterprise HCM Information We mainly deal with: • Employment Model • Person number generation • Worker number generation • Assignment number generation • Position synchronization • Action framework → Employment Model Two-Tier Employment Model: Consists of Work Relationship and Assignments. Work Relationship = Relationship between person and legal employer. We have three relationships i) Employee ii) Contingent worker (contract employee) iii) Non worker Assignment = Employment related information like Job, Grade, Working hours.... Three-Tier Employment Model: Consists of Work Relationship, Employment Terms and Assignments Employment Terms = Terms and conditions of employment We go with this model when company has more number of hire to contract employees. Like contract for 6 months or 1 year. Two-Tier Model options: i) Single Assignment: Work Relationship >> Single Assignment (Ex: Job is Sales Manager). This is the default model in Fusion application. ii) Single Assignment with Contract: Work Relationship >> Assignment with Contract (Instead of going with Three-tier, when company has less number of contract employees, we go with this option) iii) Multiple Assignment: Work Relationship >> Multiple Assignment (Ex: Job is Sales Manager and Trainer) A person can have multiple relationships (can be employee + contingent worker same time) with same legal employer and multiple assignments as well (employee assignment can be Sales Manager + Consultant and contingent worker assignment can be Trainer) with one primary relationship and one primary assignment. Three-Tier Model options: i) Work Relationship --> Employment Terms --> Assignment ii) Work Relationship --> Employment Terms --> Multiple Assignments iii) Work Relationship --> Multiple Employment Terms --> Single Assignment iv) Work Relationship --> Multiple Employment Terms --> Multiple Assignments The default model in Fusion application is 'Two-Tier Single Assignment' and we can change this using the task 'Manage Enterprise HCM Information' at FSM page level. → Position synchronization: On positions page we have certain fields like Department, Job, Grade, Location and so on, and to synchronize these fields we use Position synchronization. By default Position synchronization will not be enabled. We have to enable at Enterprise level or Legal Employer level. In case we enable at both the levels, then the settings specified at legal employer level takes the precedence over enterprise level settings. Enterprise level Position Synchronization
→ Person Number Generation
Person number is unique across Enterprise. Any person created in HCM attains Person number.
Person number can be generated at Enterprise level using following methods:
• Manual
• Automatic prior to submission - This is default method in application.
• Automatic upon final save
• Formula (available in future releases)
Initial person number: We can specify the initial person number for our enterprise when person numbers are generated automatically.
→ Worker Number Generation
We cannot distinguish employee and contingent worker based on person number. To differentiate employee from contingent worker we can assign worker number and this is optional. We can generate worker number either
i) Manually
ii) Automatic Generation Using Global Sequence
iii) Automatic Generation Using Legal Employer Sequence
If selected automatically then worker numbers will be allocated from either an enterprise sequence or a legal employer sequence. All legal employers automatically inherit the enterprise number-generation method. We can override the number-generation method at the legal employer level.
→ Assignment Number Generation
Every worker will have Assignment number. Assignment is a set of information including job, position, grade...that defines a workers or non-workers role in a Legal Employer. Assignments are identified by assignment numbers, which you can allocate either manually or automatically. In general Employee have prefix 'E', Contingent workers have prefix 'C', Non-workers have prefix 'N'.
→ Action Framework
• Action: Actions track changes in HCM records. If you create a new action, you must associate the action with any one of the predefined action types.
• Action Type: Actions categorize the type of change.
• Action reason: You can optionally associate actions with reasons. The action reason information can be used for analysis and reporting purposes.
Action Type (Seeded & cannot create new action types) Ex: Hiring an employee, Terminating an employee.
Action (Seeded & can create custom actions) Ex: Hiring, Hiring full time employee, Hiring part time employee. Task is 'Manage Actions'
Action Reason (Optional & can create custom actions) Ex: To fill a vacant position.
Create an Action
FSM page >> Tasks >> Search >> Task 'Manage Actions' >> Create >> Action code: TATA_HIRE_PT_EMP; Action name: Tata Hire Part Time Employee; Start Date: 2/28/19; End date: 12/31/12; Action Type: Hire an Employee
5. Define Legal Entities First we have to create legal address and then we create legal entity. Legal address is mailing address of LE where we can send correspondence such as invoices, bills, reports... In the implementation project search for task 'Manage Legal Addresses' >> Create

6. Define Workforce Structures Workforce structure consists of Positions, Jobs, Grades, Departments, Locations & Organizations. i. Define Locations = Physical address FSM Page >> Tasks >> Search >> 'Manage Locations' >> Create (Tata BU Location) Refer to 'Create location for Business Unit' in 'Fusion Accounts Payable' page ii. Define HCM Organizations The different Organization classifications are LE, Division, BU, Department, LDG, External organizations like (Professional Bodies, Reporting Establishments, Disability Organizations) a) Create BU: Refer Create Business Unit, Creation of Reference Data Set(RDS), Assign RDS to BU Reference Data Objects in 'Fusion Accounts Payable' page. b) Create Divisions: FSM page >> Tasks >> Search >> Manage Divisions >> Create >> Name: Tata Division (US1 Division) >> Next >> Next >> Submit c) Create Departments: FSM page >> Tasks >> Search >> Manage Departments >> Create >> Name: Tata Department (Accounting UK) >> Next >> Next >> Submit d) Organization Security Profile: FSM page >> Tasks >> Search >> Manage Organization Security Profile We have two Tree structures in Fusion. i) Department hierarchy ii) Organization hierarchy e) Create Grades: The two profile options (Manage Profile Options) determine the grades that are available for selection. Make sure the profile option levels at site level should be updateable. i) PER_ENFORCE_VALID_GRADES -- The list of valid grades (multiple) which were defined while creation of Job will be displayed at Assignment page after selecting Job. ii) PER_DEFAULT_GRADE_FROM_JOB_POSITION -- The list of valid grade (only one) which was defined while creation of Job will be displayed at Assignment page after selecting Job. Hierarchy is Grades >> Jobs >> Positions Task 'Manage Administrator Profile Values' >> Search profile option code 'PER_ENFORCE_VALID_GRADES' >> Change the profile value at site level to 'Y' >> Save and Close Task 'Manage Administrator Profile Values' >> Search profile option code 'PER_DEFAULT_GRADE_FROM_JOB_POSITION' >> Change the profile value at site level to 'Y' >> Save and Close Grade Rate Values = Compensation amount associated with each grade. The lookup type GRADE_PAY_RATE_TYPE identifies the compensation components for which you want to set up grade rates. The predefined values are salary, bonus and overtime. Task 'Manage Grades' >> Create >> Grade Set: Common Set; Name: Tata Sales Executive Grade; Code: TATA_SALES_EXEC_GRADE >> Next >> In case you want to create steps then perform the task here else click on Next >> Next (We will create Grade rates in next step) >> Submit Task 'Manage Grade Rates' >> Create >> Select you LDG (Tata LDG) >> Enter mandatory fields >> Under Grade Rate Values, click on Add Row and select the Grade which you have create above. >> Submit Grade Ladders: Grade Ladders group grades without steps or group grades with steps in the sequence in which workers progress. f) Create Jobs: i) Job Family: Group of Jobs which has similar functions or qualifications.
