Coverage

8 of 14 planned lessons are published. This is partial coverage, not a complete course. 4 recorded gaps remain, listed below.

  • Time card and absence interactionThree lessons and three procedures cover the processing chain, but not how absence and time interact — which is where real projects go wrong.In the meantime: Oracle Time and Labor documentation on absence integration.
  • Delivered Fast Formula, rule template and rule names for Time and LaborThese are published in Time and Labor Fast Formula References (document 1990057.1), which has not been read. Guessing them is exactly the failure this academy exists to prevent.In the meantime: Learn the six rule TYPES and what each one does. Configure from names in your own tenant.
  • Attribute-level mapping between time entries and payroll or project costingOracle does not publish this mapping on the consumer sets page. It is genuinely tenant-specific and depends on how payroll elements and cost segments were defined.In the meantime: Treat any mapping you read elsewhere as tenant-specific until you confirm it against your own element definitions.
  • Whether absence validation runs on Save or on both Save and Save and CloseThe retrieved page merges the two button rows under one description. This is an ambiguity in the source, not an oversight in the lesson.In the meantime: Test it in your own tenant by saving a time card with an ineligible absence entry and observing which validations fire.

The whole module as one document: lessons with their diagrams as text descriptions, procedures, scenarios, assessments, and the coverage statement above. Generated from the same content this page renders, so it cannot go stale.

  1. 1The Time and Labor mental modelWhat Time and Labor actually decides, why the processing order matters, and how to think about a time problem from the first stage rather than the last.14 min
  2. 2Time Reporting Channels and Who May Act on Whose TimeFour channels bring time in, three roles can act on somebody else’s, and two prerequisite functional areas decide whether any of it reaches payroll.12 min
  3. 3The Worker Time Processing ProfileHow one profile controls validation, calculation and processing for a whole population of workers, and the three constraints that catch most configuration mistakes.16 min
  4. 4The Worker Time Entry ProfileThe profile that decides what a time card looks like and who may create, review, edit and submit it — and the overlap rule that stops one group having two entry profiles at once.14 min
  5. 5Repeating Time Periods and What They Are Offered OnA period is not just a date range. Its usage decides which configuring pages can select it, and a period set up for the wrong usage is missing rather than broken.12 min
  6. 6Time Card Actions and What Validates WhenWhich buttons exist on a time card, which validations run on each, and the defaults that decide whether a worker hears about a problem before payroll does.13 min
  7. 7The Six Rule Types and What Each One Is ForSix formula and template types configure validation, processing and compliance — and the three that answer rules differ by whether they read typed time or device time.12 min
  8. 8Time Consumer SetsHow Time and Labor decides which downstream systems receive time, which validations they contribute, and why the set locks once a profile uses it.15 min
