Contingent Worker and Her Supplier Start Date

You can encounter this feature if you are using Oracle iExpenses and Oracle Payables with contingent workers.

The Feature

A contingent worker starts working on a specific date. Her AP supplier record is not created until few days later. So the effective date of her HR assignment starts before her supplier record was created. When a contingent worker then tries to enter her expenses for the dates prior to the existence her AP supplier record, Oracle rejects the expense report.

The Workaround

Ugly, but there is one … The user has to create and submit an expense report with an item date AFTER the date her supplier record was created. Once she created and submitted the expense report (it can be withdrawn and deleted if needed), she will then be able to submit her expenses for the dates prior to the creation date the supplier record, but after her start date as a contingent worker. There isn’t a way to change supplier start date.
