HRMS Oracle Applications R12 - Change Start Date of a person

Oracle provides an API to change start dates of a person, the interesting fact is that this API even shifts the first assignment start dates. The API allows to shift the start dates within the range of first date track changes done at person & assignment level, if the new start date falls beyond the first date track change records effective end date then there is a error which pops up and does not allow changing the start date, this is logical and relevant.


APP-PAY-06841: Person changes exist between the old date and the new date
ORA-20001: Person changes exist between the old date and the new date.
ORA-06512: at "APPS.HR_CHANGE_START_DATE_API", line 3068

If you still want to change the start date, then all person and assignment changes should be removed from the system before trying to change the start date.

Below is the API which helps updating the start date

   DECLARE
      l_warn_ee   VARCHAR2 (100);
   BEGIN
      hr_change_start_date_api.update_start_date (p_validate            => FALSE,
                                                  p_person_id           => 8424,
                                                  p_old_start_date      => TO_DATE ('01-01-2000','MM-DD-YYYY'),
                                                  p_new_start_date      => TO_DATE ('01-01-2001','MM-DD-YYYY'),
                                                  p_update_type         => 'E',
                                                  p_warn_ee             => l_warn_ee
                                                 );
      DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (l_warn_ee);
   END;
