1 Summary

The Oracle HRMS R12.1 Release Update Pack 10

(R12.HR_PF.B.DELTA.10), patch 25026041, has
been released and the latest revision at the time
of writing was on 5th May 2017. All UK customers
using R12.1 Oracle Payroll are required to apply
this prior to the Tax Year ending April 2018, and
for IE (Ireland) customers prior to January 2018.
This document provides a complete, up to date
description of all new and changed functionality
provided within this patch, and a summary of the
modules/functionality affected.

R12.HR_PF.B.DELTA.10 is specifically for HRMS

and Payroll and provides legislative changes along
with various bug fixes for the Oracle HRMS suite
of products. Historically the Release Update Pack
has been a vehicle for delivering new functionality.
Technology patches such as ATG Release Update
Pack will affect all parts of the E-Business Suite, not
just HRMS and Payroll. It is therefore necessary
to perform eBusiness wide testing after ATG
application and prior to the implementation of
HRMS RUP10 patch and its associated pre/co-
requisite patches.

Key testing should also be performed post

application of the R12.HR_PF.B.DELTA.10 patch.
