You are setting up Core HR for a customer. During the work structure setup, you need to capture information such as work timings, standard working hours, organization manager and cost center.
Which type of organization allows you to maintain all these fields?
Correct Answer: C
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, work structures include organizations like Legal Entities, Business Units, and Departments, each serving distinct purposes. The question asks which organization type allows capturing work timings, standard working hours, organization manager, and cost center during Core HR setup.
* Option A: Legal EntityThis option is incorrect. ALegal Entityrepresents a legal employer or registered organization for compliance and reporting (e.g., tax, payroll). While it captures attributes like name, address, and jurisdiction, it does not maintain fields forwork timings,standard working hours, organization manager, orcost centerdirectly. Legal Entities are higher-level structures focused on regulatory requirements, not operational details like schedules or managers, making this option unsuitable.
* Option B: Business UnitThis option is incorrect. ABusiness Unitorganizes business functions for transaction processing (e.g., payroll, requisition approvals) and defines scope for data access. Itcaptures attributes like default working hours for payroll purposes, but it does not directly maintainwork timings
,organization manager, orcost centeras part of its setup. Business Units are broader constructs and lack the granularity to manage department-specific operational details, ruling out this option.
* Option C: DepartmentThis is the correct answer. ADepartmentin Oracle HCM Cloud is an organization type used to represent operational units (e.g., Sales, IT). During setup via theManage Organizationtask, Departments allow capturing:
* Work timings: Configured via work schedules or shift details associated with the department.
* Standard working hours: Defined to specify default hours for employees in the department (e.
g., 40 hours/week).
* Organization manager: Assigned to designate the department's manager or supervisor.
* Cost center: Linked to track financial accountability for department activities. Oracle documentation confirms that Departments support these fields to manage workforce operations, making them the ideal organization type for this requirement.
* Why this answer?Departments are designed to handle operational and workforce-related details, unlike Legal Entities (compliance-focused) or Business Units (transaction-focused). The ability to configure work timings, standard hours, managers, and cost centers aligns with the Department's role in Core HR setup, makingCthe correct choice.
