This page is designed to capture all required address components, including validation for country-specific formats., Reference: Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud: Implementing Global Human Resources, Section: Creating Legal Addresses., Step 5: Enter Address Details, Action: Enter the following details based on the provided scenario (900 Main St, Dearborn Heights, Wayne, Michigan 48127): , Country: Select United States from the dropdown list., Address Line 1: Enter 900 Main St., Address Line 2: Leave blank (not provided in the scenario)., Address Line 3: Leave blank (not provided in the scenario)., City: Enter Dearborn Heights., County: Enter Wayne (select from the dropdown if prompted, as Wayne is a county in Michigan)., State: Select Michigan from the dropdown list., Postal Code: Enter 48127., Address Purpose: Select Legal (or ensure the address is marked for use as a legal address, depending on the configuration)., Effective Start Date: Enter the current date or the date the address becomes effective (e.g., 04/15/2025, based on the current date). If the acquisition date is specified, use that date., Validate Address: Click the Validate button (if available) to ensure the address is recognized by Oracle’s address validation service., Explanation: , The address fields must match the format expected for the United States, including mandatory fields like Address Line 1, City, State, and Postal Code. The County field (Wayne) is optional but should be included for accuracy, as it is part of the provided address., The Address Purpose field determines how the address is used (e.g., legal, mailing). Since the task is to create a legal address, ensure the purpose is set to Legal., Address validation checks the address against a third-party service (if enabled) to confirm its accuracy. Oracle uses services like Loqate or internal validation rules to verify US addresses., The Effective Start Date ensures the address is active from the specified date. Historical or future-dated addresses can be created, but for a new acquisition, the current or acquisition date is appropriate., Reference: Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud: Using Global Human Resources, Section: Address Fields and Validation., Step 6: Save the Address, Action: , After entering and validating the address, click Save or Save and Close to store the address., If prompted, confirm the creation of the address., Explanation: Saving the address creates a record in the system that can be associated with a legal entity. The address is now available for use in other tasks, such as assigning it to a legal entity or location., Reference: Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud: Implementing Global Human Resources, Section: Saving Legal Addresses., Step 7: Associate the Address with a Legal Entity (Optional), Action: , If the scenario requires linking the address to a specific legal entity (not explicitly stated but implied by “legal address for the legal entity”), navigate to the Manage Legal Entity task in the Setup and Maintenance work area., Search for the legal entity representing the acquired company (or create a new one if it does not exist)., In the legal entity’s details, go to the Address section and select the newly created address (900 Main St, Dearborn Heights, Wayne, Michigan 48127)., Save the changes to the legal entity., Explanation: A legal address must be associated with a legal entity to be used for reporting, compliance, or operational purposes. The Manage Legal Entity task allows you to link the address to the entity. If the legal entity is not yet created, you may need to create it first using the Manage Legal Entity task, specifying details like the entity name and jurisdiction. Since the scenario does not provide the legal entity’s name, this step is noted as optional but recommended to complete the task fully., Reference: Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud: Using Global Human Resources, Section: Associating Addresses with Legal Entities., Step 8: Verify the Address Creation, Action: , Return to the Manage Legal Addresses page., Search for the address by entering 900 Main St or Dearborn Heights in the search criteria., Confirm that the address appears in the list with the correct details and effective date., Explanation: Verifying the address ensures that it was created correctly and is available for use. This step confirms the task’s success and checks for any errors in data entry or validation., Reference: Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud: Using Global Human Resources, Section: Searching Legal Addresses., , , Detailed Explanation, Context of Legal Addresses: In Oracle HCM Cloud, a legal address is a critical component for a legal entity, used for tax reporting, compliance, and operational purposes. The address must be precise and validated to ensure it meets regulatory requirements, especially for a newly acquired company., Address Validation: Oracle supports address validation through integration with third-party services or internal rules. For US addresses, fields like City, State, and Postal Code are cross-checked to ensure accuracy. The provided address (900 Main St, Dearborn Heights, Wayne, Michigan 48127) is a valid US address format, with Wayne being the county, which should be included for completeness., Effective Dating: Legal addresses are effective-dated, meaning they can have start and end dates to reflect changes over time. For a new acquisition, the effective start date should align with the acquisition date or the current date if not specified., Association with Legal Entity: While the scenario focuses on creating the address, Oracle’s best practice requires linking it to a legal entity. This step ensures the address serves its intended purpose for the acquired company manufacturing spring hinges in Michigan., Potential Challenges: , If address validation is enabled and the address is not recognized, you may need to manually confirm its accuracy or correct minor discrepancies., If the legal entity does not exist, you must create it first, which requires additional details like the entity’s name and jurisdiction (e.g., Michigan, USA)., User access issues could prevent task execution, requiring role adjustments by an administrator., , , Key Considerations, Accuracy: Ensure all address components are entered exactly as provided to avoid validation errors., Permissions: Verify that the user has the Manage Legal Address privilege, typically granted through roles like HCM Data Loader or Application Implementation Consultant., Redwood Experience: If using the Redwood interface (available in 24C and later), the Manage Legal Addresses page may have an enhanced UI with improved search and validation features, but the core steps remain the same., Audit Trail: Creating a legal address generates an audit trail, which can be reviewed in the Audit Reports section if needed for compliance., , , References, Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud: Implementing Global Human Resources, Document ID: docs.oracle.com, Published: 2023-12-12 , Section: Manage Legal Addresses: “Describes how to create and manage addresses for legal entities, including validation and effective dating.”, Section: Legal Entity Configuration: “Explains how to associate addresses with legal entities for compliance and reporting.”, Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud: Using Global Human Resources, Document ID: docs.oracle.com, Published: 2024-07-02 , Section: Creating Legal Addresses: “Steps to create a legal address, including mandatory fields and validation.”, Section: Address Validation: “Details on how Oracle validates addresses using third-party services or internal rules.”, Oracle Fusion Cloud Human Resources 24C What’s New, Document ID: docs.oracle.com, Published: 2024-08-27 , Section: Redwood Experience for Workforce Structures: “Enhanced UI for tasks like Manage Legal Addresses, improving usability and validation.”, , ]
