ORACLE HCM · AI AGENT PROFILE

Assignment Change Assistant

Helps managers and HR specialists look up and change one worker's assignment in a conversation. They can ask for current employment and assignment details first, then change the department, job, position, business title, location and office details, working at home, working as a manager, and notes, with the action, reason and effective date. It submits supported changes through your normal approvals, and links to the right page for anything it can't do, such as a promotion or global transfer. From 26D it also handles Change Working Hours and Change Manager, updates salary by a new amount or a percentage, makes several changes in one request, and suggests the business title from the job or position.

Where it helps

A manager moves a team member from HR to Operations and updates their business title to Programme Lead in one conversation.

My take

MY PRACTITIONER VIEW

Useful for everyday moves, and it keeps your approvals in place. From 26D it can change salary too, so treat those changes with the same care as Change Salary Assistant, and check approvers see the full picture.

Things you can ask

Move Alex from HR to Operations and change their business title to Programme Lead.
Transfer Sam to the Leeds office from 1 March.
Who is Priya's current manager, and what's her job? (26D)
Change Sam's line manager to David Ross. (26D)
Move Priya to the Leeds office with a 4% increase. (26D)

Examples based on Oracle's notes. What works depends on your setup.

What it won't do

  • One worker and one assignment at a time: no mass updates.
  • Pending workers aren't supported.
  • If the worker has a pending transaction, it shows a message and a link to review it instead.
  • Promotions and global transfers go through links.
  • Weekly working hours aren't yet supported (26D).
  • Only line managers can change a worker's manager (26D).
  • Changing the worker, effective date or action part-way resets the transaction (26D).
  • More complex salary changes still need the normal quick actions (26D).

Good first agent?

Maybe. For simple moves such as department or location. Not for salary changes until you've proved your approvals.

Risk level: Higher. From 26D it can change salary alongside assignment changes, which are decisions about a person's pay.

Before you switch it on

  1. Which changes should it handle, and do approvers see what they'd see from the normal page?
  2. Are your action and reason values clear enough to choose from in a conversation?

Next steps

Setup at a glance

Open Setup at a glance for the setup steps. Select the agent's type label to see what that type means.

Test it after each update

For Oracle Fusion Applications, non-production (test) quarterly updates follow the weekend after the first Friday of the update month; production follows the weekend after the third Friday. Run these checks after the test update and before production, and verify your tenant's exact dates in Oracle update notifications.

  • Change a test worker's department and title, and check the record and the approval.
  • Try a worker with a pending transaction and check it stops.
  • Change a test worker's manager and check it goes through your approvals. (26D)
  • Request a salary increase with a job change and check the salary and the approval. (26D)

Watch out

From 26D it overlaps with Change Salary Assistant: managers can change salary through either. Decide which one you want them to use, and test both the same way.

How it's changed

26C arrived; 26D information requests, several changes in one request, Change Working Hours and Change Manager, salary updates, and business title from the job or position.

Manager Concierge

One place for managers to ask about their team. It passes questions to Leave and Absence Analyst, Compensation Advisor and Employment Details Assistant, and from 26A includes a Team Data Hub for spotting patterns across the team.

Change Salary Assistant (Line Manager)

Helps line managers check an employee's current salary and prepare a salary change in a conversation. It checks the manager's access and that no other salary change is already pending, shows the proposed salary and calculations for review, and sends the change into your normal approval workflow. From 26D it also covers indirect reports, more assignment and salary types, answers from your salary policy documents, and the next salary review date.

Promotion agents

Agents that help managers and HR promote one worker at a time. The Promotion Advisor (25D) checks eligibility against the promotion rules you upload, works out the next job, writes the assignment notes and, for simple promotions, submits them. From 26B it also summarises feedback into the notes and can update salary by an amount or a percentage. The Promotion Assistant (26C) is a workflow agent that can review all of a manager's direct reports and produce a consolidated eligibility report, including peer feedback.

Resignation Assistant

Helps someone resign in Oracle HCM. It answers questions before they resign, drafts a resignation letter, shows their employment contract, submits a resignation for a future date and changes their last working day, with links to the right pages.
