Introducing Fast Formula Use in Oracle Cloud Time and Labor
Oracle Cloud Fast Formula is an easy way to configure the existing functionality in Oracle Cloud Time
and Labor. Formulas are pieces of code that can receive information from calling program (packages),
access database information, and return values to the calling program. The calling program can use
this information to modify the process functionality. The fast formula language hides the complexity of
accessing the tables and column.

A formula can return more than one value to the calling program. Different programs that call the
formula expect outputs to return differently. Based on the formula type, the number and data type of
values to return are already defined.

» Some programs expect the defined names for outputs: the location of an output in the return
statement does not matter. If defined names are expected and the formula does not use the
expected names, the process errors out at run time.
» Some programs expect the output to return by location; in this case the name of the output does not
matter.

Time Calculation Rule Formulas

Formula Name: ORA_WFM_TCR_ALLOCATION_TIME_AP

Description
This time calculation rule fast formula is associated with the delivered rule template Time Allocation Template. If
there is a time allocation assigned to the worker using the Manage Allocation Assignments task, then the formula
uses this allocation. Otherwise, it uses the allocation selected in the rule configuration. In both cases, the allocation
formula uses either reported or calculated time, based on the processing sequence of the allocation rule in the rule
set. It allocates the time identified by the source time category across the output time attributes. This formula uses
an array to process time data.

To view, on the time card review page, the cost segment outputs configured in the time allocation:
1. Configure the time review layouts for workers and managers accordingly.
2. Associate the appropriate layout set with the worker time entry setup profiles.

Rule Template Parameters

Parameter Name Parameter Type Description

ASSIGN_FRACTION_TO_LAST_ROW Yes or No Indicates whether to adjust the last row of the time allocation output
so that total allocated hours match the number of hours identified by
the allocation rule. Time allocations of type Percent and Equally use
this parameter.

Rule Template Outputs

There are no output variables for this formula. It uses the outputs configured for the time allocation assigned to the
worker associated with this formula when the rule is initiated.

Formula Name: ORA_WFM_TCR_FOR_ENTRIES_THAT_SPAN_DAYS_AP (deprecated as of release
13.18.10)
Description
This time calculation rule fast formula is associated with the delivered rule template Time Entries That Span Days
AP. It determines whether time entries span days and if they do, it determines on what day to calculate time for
reported time entries that span days. By default, the formula uses rule parameter values. When there are no values
from the rule, it uses the values composing the worker's work day definition. This fast formula uses an array to
process time card data.

Rule Template Parameters

Parameter Name Parameter Type Description

RESOLVE_SPAN_RULE Fixed Text Rule to use to determine on what day to calculate time for reported
time entries that span days. Valid values are:
» START_DAY: Time calculation rules should treat time entries as
being entirely on the start day.
» STOP_DAY: Time calculation rules should treat time entries as
being entirely on the stop day.
» DAY_WITH_MOST_TIME: Time calculation rules should treat time
entries as being entirely on the day with the longest time duration.
» SPLIT_AT_DAY_START: Time calculation rules should split time
entries at the time where one day ends and the other starts.
» SCHEDULE_REF_DAY: Time calculation rules treat all time entries
as being on the reference day of the scheduled shift

HANDLING_TIES Fixed Text Valid values are:

» START_DAY: When there is the same time duration on both days,

time calculation rules should treat the time entries as being entirely
on the start day

» STOP_DAY: When there is the same time duration on both days,

time calculation rules should treat the time entries as being entirely
on the stop day

DAY_START_TIME Time HH:MM Time, in hours and minutes, that marks the start of the day

GROUPING_THRESHOLD Fixed Number Threshold, in minutes, used to group reported time entries on one or
another of the multiple days.

ORA_HWM_FF_DAY_SPLIT_FLAG Exclude Internal indicator to split the day. Does not show on the rule pages.

Rule Template Outputs

This formula has no outputs shown on the rule template or rule.

Rule Function
Specifies to resolve time entries that span multiple days using the rule {RESOLVE_SPAN_RULE}. In cases where
the time entries span multiple days equally, use {HANDLING_TIES}. For this rule, the day start time is
{DAY_START_TIME} and the threshold for grouping time entries on one day or another is
{GROUPING_THRESHOLD} minutes.

Examples
Scenario: The work day starts at 4:00 AM.

This time calculation rule fast formula is associated with the delivered rule template Time Entries That Span
Overtime and Earned Days AP. It determines whether time entries span days and if they do, it determines:

» The day to use in calculations that include reported time entries that span days
» The earned day for reported time entries that span days
By default, the formula uses rule parameter values. When there are no values from the rule, it uses the values
composing the worker's work day definition. This fast formula uses an array to process time card data.

Rule Template Parameters

Parameter Name Parameter Type Description

OVERTIME_DAY_START_TIME Time HH:MM Time, in hours and minutes, that marks the start of the day to use in
time calculation rules that calculate overtime

EARNED_RESOLVE_SPAN_RULE
Fixed Text Rule to use to determine the earned day for reported time entries that
span days. Valid values are:
» START_DAY: Time calculation rules should treat time entries as
being entirely on the start day.
» STOP_DAY: Time calculation rules should treat time entries as
being entirely on the stop day.
» DAY_WITH_MOST_TIME: Time calculation rules should treat time
entries as being entirely on the day with the longest time duration.
» SPLIT_AT_DAY_START: Time calculation rules should split time
entries at the time where one day ends and the other starts.
SCHEDULE_REF_DAY: Time calculation rules treat all time entries as
being on the reference day of the scheduled shift

EARNED_HANDLING_TIES Fixed Text Valid values are:

» START_DAY: When the same time duration exists on both days,

time calculation rules should treat the time entries as being entirely
on the start day
» STOP_DAY: When the same time duration exists on both days, time
calculation rules should treat the time entries as being entirely on the
stop day

EARNED_GROUPING_THRESHOLD Fixed Number Threshold, in minutes, used to group reported time entries on one or
another of the multiple days.

ORA_HWM_FF_DAY_BREAKER_FLAG Exclude Internal indicator to split the day. Does not show on the rule pages.

Rule Template Outputs

This formula has no outputs shown on the rule template or rule.

Rule Function
Specifies to resolve time entries that span multiple days using the rule {EARNED_RESOLVE_SPAN_RULE} for
earned day. Automatically uses the rule SPLIT_AT_DAY_START for overtime. When determining the earned day, in
cases where the time entries span multiple days equally, use {EARNED_HANDLING_TIES}. For this rule, the day
start time is midnight and the threshold for grouping time entries on one day or another is
{EARNED_GROUPING_THRESHOLD} minutes. When determining the overtime day, the day start time is
{OVERTIME_DAY_START_TIME}.

OUT_MSG Specify whether the output message is informational, warning, or error

Rule Function
Since the rule engine, and thus workforce compliance rules, doesn't account for incomplete entries, default logic
sets missing start time entries to 12:00 AM and a duration of 0. It sets missing end time entries to 23.59.59 and a
duration of 0.

» The formula generates a missing start message if the time entry start time is 12:00 AM and the duration is 0.
» The formula generates a missing end message if the time entry stop time is 23.59.59 and the duration is 0.
