Applies to:

Oracle Payables - Version 12.0.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Purpose

The purpose of this document is to provide 'FAQs' on Employee type supplier topic.

In R12, Oracle Payables has migrated Supplier data into TCA repository. TCA already has Employees created in Oracle Human Resources (HR) application defined as a Party. Since TCA is a common repository, the Party information will be available for all products of Oracle E-Business Suite application to access employee related information.

Apart from this, in Release 12 the Oracle E-Business Suite application has been enhanced to maintain employee address and other important, sensitive information only in HR application. This enhancement has been done to support Safe Harbor requirements, which requires the application to support data privacy and data security of sensitive information like employee related information.
