🔧 Generating HCM Setup Task List
After selecting the appropriate HCM offering (such as Global HR, Payroll, Benefits), you can generate a task list tailored to your configuration needs. Tasks include setting up enterprise structures, currencies, profiles, payroll definitions, compensation, and more. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
⚙️ Steps to Configure Asset Maintenance

- Configure lookups, Descriptive Flexfields (DFFs), Key Flexfields (KFFs), and value sets.
- Set asset group rules, attachments, meter readings, preventive programs.
- Define Asset Maintenance parameters for IoT, work order defaults, validation organization, user enforcement options, and more. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
