Create / Update Location API

We define a location in order to identify the exact address of an organization or employee work location. Locations can be local as well as global. Local locations are available only in particular Business Groups, whereas global locations are visible across all Business Groups defined in the application.

Step1: Create Location

 The location parameters can be passed to the below API’s to insert data to Oracle standard tables hr_locations_all and other relevant tables.

                                               

 Sample script with description to upload the location information is explained below

hr_location_api.create_location 

(

   p_effective_date                   => SYSDATE,

   p_location_code                    => '1234',

   p_description                      => 'Loaded by API',

   p_address_line_1                   => NULL,

   p_country                          => NULL,

   p_postal_code                      => NULL,

   p_telephone_number_1               => NULL,

   p_town_or_city                     => NULL,

   p_business_group_id                => NULL,

   p_style                            => 'US_GLB',

   p_location_id                      => l_location_id,

   p_object_version_number        => l_object_version_number

);

Step2: Update location

 The location parameters can be passed to the below API’s to update data to Oracle standard tables hr_locations_all and other relevant tables.      

                      

Sample script with description to upload the location information is explained below

     HR_LOCATION_API.UPDATE_LOCATION

     (

         P_EFFECTIVE_DATE                  => SYSDATE

        ,P_LOCATION_ID                     => L_LOCATION_ID

        ,P_LOCATION_CODE                   => '1234'

        ,P_DESCRIPTION                     => 'XXX Location'

        ,P_ADDRESS_LINE_1                  =>  'XXX123'

        ,P_COUNTRY                         => 'US'

        ,P_POSTAL_CODE                     => '123'

        ,P_STYLE                           => 'US_GLB'

        ,P_TELEPHONE_NUMBER_1              => '13579'

        ,P_TOWN_OR_CITY                    => 'XXX321'

        ,P_OBJECT_VERSION_NUMBER       =>L_OBJECT_VERSION_NUMBER
