Editing Employee Name Data (including Preferred Name)

Purpose: Use this document as a reference for editing employee Preferred name data in the Travel and Expenses profile within ctcLink.

Audience: Finance and Business Office staff.

You must have at least one of these local college managed security roles:

  • ZZ Expenses User Admin

If you need assistance with the above security roles, please contact your local college supervisor or IT Admin to request role access.

Due to a new HCM>FSCM Oracle sync Issue, any updates to the name fields in HCM (including adding new hires) will result in blank name fields in the FSCM>Expenses Employee Profiles. Corrections to the profiles will need to be made manually. The Blank fields will need to be populated before you are able to save any other EX Profile updates.  We are working with Oracle on a solution.
