HCM: The Regular/Temporary and Full Time/Part Time fields default to Regular and Full Time for all workers

 While migrating the workers we noticed that 'Regular or Temporary' and 'Full Time or Part Time' are getting auto populated with default values 'Regular' and 'Full Time' even though we are not passing the values for these fields.

These values are coming from the Position assigned and the reason is 'Position Synchronization Configuration'.

Now the problem was, we were not even providing these values in the position load and system was still populating these fields with default values. This seems to be a bug.

The workaround is to pass the #null values to FullPartTime & RegularTemporary fileds in the position load file.

So to rectify the assignment records, you need to update the positions first and then run the ''Synchronize Person Assignments from Position". This process would only work if "Allow Override at Assignment' flag is unchecked. If it is also checked unfortunately you have to update the assignment records.

HCM: Default Number, Date & Time Format

 These default formats are controlled by profile options.

Navigation: Setup and Maintenance > Manage Administrator Profile Values

Profile Option Code:

Number: FND_NUMBER_FORMAT

Date     : FND_DATE_FORMAT

Time    : FND_TIME_FORMAT

You can set these options on Site or User level from the list of values available as required.

HCM: Workers Auto Numbering & Duplication Check

 Auto numbering and person duplicate check options are available under enterprise information. You can amend as required 

Navigation: Setup and Maintenance > Search > Manage Enterprise HCM Information

'Enterprise Information' Section

Options are self explanatory for both number generation and duplicate check. 

If you want to start the person number from a specific range you can provide that value in the 'Initial Person Number' filed.
