HCM Extract / Fast Formulas scribblings

HCM Extracts -

Add Parent Data Group
- Select the main UE

To add a Child data group -> Right click on the Parent group area and 'Add Child Data Group'
- Define the Child Data group (UE, Filters etc)
- Connect the Data groups

To add a Record -> Righ Click and 'Add Record'
- Define the details, Save and Add Attributes

To add a fast formula column add the columnd as Rule

DEFAULT FOR PER_ASG_REL_DATE_START IS '4712/12/31 00:00:00' (date)

l_rel_date_start = PER_ASG_REL_DATE_START

l_effective_date = GET_PARAMETER_VALUE_DATE('EFFECTIVE_DATE')

--RULE_VALUE is default return for Extract Rule FF Type
return RULE_VALUE

Cloud HCM Use Valueset in Fast Formula

You can use valueset(Ex-ORG_LEVEL1) to use the query table functionality in Fast Formulas. Below is sample how you pass parameters(P_ORG_ID) and invoke valuesets to FFs. The Fast Formula will be of type Extract Rule.

Sample FF Code :
DEFAULT FOR PER_ASG_DEPARTMENT_ID IS 0

l_organization_id=to_char(PER_ASG_DEPARTMENT_ID)
l_level1_org=GET_VALUE_SET('ORG_LEVEL1','|=P_ORG_ID='''||l_organization_id||'''')

RULE_VALUE=l_level1_org

return RULE_VALUE


In you Valueset where clause the parameter is used as below :
and level1.organization_id=:{PARAMETER.P_ORG_ID}
Make sure the ID and Value columns are populated in Valuset otherwise empty values are returned

HCM GET ORG AT PARTICULAR DEPTH

Query to get a org at a particular depth -

SELECT haou.name, haou.organization_id
, ANCESTOR_PK1_VALUE, DISTANCE
,haou1.name LEVEL1_ORG
FROM per_org_tree_node_rf prf, hr_all_organization_units haou
, hr_all_organization_units haou1
WHERE 1=1
AND pk1_value = haou.organization_id
AND ANCESTOR_PK1_VALUE = haou1.organization_id
AND DISTANCE = (CASE WHEN haou.name LIKE '%IDEN1%' THEN 1
WHEN haou.name LIKE '%IDEN2%' THEN 2
WHEN haou.name LIKE '%IDEN3%' THEN 3
ELSE 1 END
)

Instead of the hard coded distance calculation you could use the current node depth and get the node at a given level above.
