Introduction:
Oracle Fusion’s Absence Management has introduced a new functionality that significantly streamlines the handling of employee absences in response to changes in work patterns. This feature, leveraging HCM Events, automates the reprocessing of absences, simplifying what was once a complex, multi-step process.

Key Feature:

Automatic Reprocessing of Absences: When an employee’s work pattern changes, absences are automatically reprocessed. This eliminates the need for scheduling multiple processes for each change.

Steps to Enable:

1. Configure Event Conditions:
   – Access HCM Experience Design Studio via the My Client Groups tab.
   – Create an event condition, specifying details like Work Pattern Assignment and – Condition Details.
   – Save the configuration.
   
2. Configure Absence Types:
   – In the absence type setup page, use the Additional Details tab.
   – Select and add event processing rules.
   – Choose the response to the event.
   – Save your settings.

Conclusion:
This new functionality in Oracle Fusion’s Absence Management simplifies and automates the reprocessing of absences, making workforce management more efficient and responsive to changes in work patterns.
