### JD Edwards EnterpriseOne HCM Fundamentals Overview

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Human Capital Management (HCM) system from Oracle provides a versatile, cost-effective, and timesaving solution for managing your employee information and accounting for employee time worked. You use this system to track information that human capital management users typically share. If you are not using the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Payroll system, you can use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne HCM system as a stand-alone time and labor tracking system.

You can use this system to:

- Track employees and employee job information.

- Enter time for employees.

- Manage your worldwide labor expenses and billings.

- Track job costs by creating journal entries for the general ledger.

- Streamline your hiring processes.

- Set up the deductions, benefits, and accruals (DBAs) that you use during payroll processing and benefits administration.

### JD Edwards EnterpriseOne HCM Fundamentals Integrations

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Human Capital Management system integrates with these JD Edwards EnterpriseOne systems from Oracle:

- JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Human Resources

- JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Benefits

- JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Payroll

- JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Time and Labor

- JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Self-Service

- JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Address Book

- JD Edwards EnterpriseOne General Accounting

- JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Job Cost

- JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Contract and Service Billing

- JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Equipment/Plant Maintenance

- JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Work Orders

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne HCM Foundation system contains the central databases for all information that human resources and payroll users typically share. For example, you use the foundation system to track:

- Complete employee information.

- Job information.

- Pay type, deduction, benefit, and accrual (PDBA) information.

- Time and labor information.

An integrated, central database means that, when the human resources clerk updates an employee's information, the employee's payroll information is also updated. A central database:

- Eliminates redundant data entry.

- Maintains current and accurate information across all your business operations.

- Improves communication among departments.

Both human resources and payroll users can enter information into the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne HCM Fundamentals system. However, to prevent unauthorized access to confidential information, you can set up system security that allows users to access only the information that they need for their jobs. Typically, your system administrator sets up system security during system implementation. The system administrator can set up security for an entire form or for individual fields on a form.
