Fix: Unable to Create Worker from Front End in Oracle Fusion HCM
🚩 Issue Overview
Users sometimes face an issue where they cannot create a new worker via the front end in Oracle Fusion HCM. The system either does not allow the creation or throws errors related to the employee number generation.
🔍 Root Cause
This usually happens because the Employee Number Generation setting is not properly configured. If the system expects manual entry but it's set to automatic, or vice versa, the front end creation process can fail.
🛠️ Quick Fix: Set Employee Number Generation to Manual
Step 1: Navigate to Setup and Maintenance
-
Log in to Oracle Fusion as an administrator or someone with setup privileges.
-
From the homepage, click on the Setup and Maintenance icon.
Step 2: Search for HCM Enterprise Setup
In the Setup and Maintenance search bar, enter:
HCM Enterprise Setup
Select the task Manage Enterprise HCM Setup from the results.
Step 3: Set Employee Number Generation to Manual
In the HCM Enterprise Setup page:
-
Find the option Employee Number Generation.
-
Change the value from Automatic to Manual.
Step 4: Save and Test
-
Save your changes.
-
Go back to the front end and try to create a new worker.
-
You should now be able to enter the employee number manually and successfully create the worker record.
💡 Why Manual Employee Number Generation?
Setting the employee number generation to manual ensures:
-
The system does not auto-assign employee numbers which may conflict with business processes.
-
Admins have full control over numbering and can avoid duplication issues.
⚠️ Additional Tips
-
Ensure the user has the required privileges to create workers.
-
Clear browser cache or try another browser if changes don't take effect immediately.
-
Check for any custom validations or workflows that may block worker creation.
