What will happen if a performance document end date is beyond the review period end date?

In Oracle Fusion HCM, when a performance document’s end date extends beyond the review period end date, it can lead to some interesting scenarios. Let’s explore what might happen:

1. Document Visibility:

   • If the performance document’s end date is within the review period, it remains visible to relevant parties (such as managers, employees, or HR).
   • However, if the end date extends beyond the review period, the document might become inaccessible for further updates or viewing.

2. Process Flow and Notifications:

   • The system typically follows a process flow for performance reviews.
   • If the document end date is beyond the review period, it could impact workflow notifications and approval steps.
   • For instance, automated reminders or escalations may not trigger as expected.

3. Data Integrity:

   • Keeping a document open beyond the review period might lead to data integrity issues.
   • For accurate reporting and analysis, it’s essential to align document dates with the review period.

4. Best Practices:

   • To handle such situations, consider these best practices:
     • Create separate review periods for different types of reviews (e.g., mid-year, end-year, probation).
     • Associate each performance template with the appropriate review period.
     • Adjust start and end dates as needed for specific documents.
     • Avoid excessively long review periods (e.g., 50 years) to maintain clarity and accuracy.
