Explore Oracle Compensation 26A and how agentic AI transforms compensation beyond worksheets. Discover new features, automation benefits, and best practices for smarter compensation management.
The 26A Release (February 2026) marks a critical milestone for Oracle HCM. It’s the year the “Agent” becomes as important as the “Admin.” With the full rollout of the Redwood Experience for core compensation tasks and the introduction of Agentic AI, Oracle is moving from a system of record to a system of action.
Oracle 26A introduces Agentic AI—autonomous agents that don’t just wait for your prompt but understand the goal of a business process.
The most tangible update is the enhancement to AI Assist for Individual Compensation Plans (ICP).
If you already enabled the Generate button, you don’t need to do anything else. The button menu options are automatically available.
The My Team Compensation Advisor now includes AI-driven peer-group benchmarking.
Example
Release 26A brings the Redwood UI to the most high-traffic areas of the Compensation module. This isn’t just a “skin”; it’s a performance upgrade built on the Oracle Visual Builder Studio (VBS).

Auto Enabled Feature
Technical Spotlight: “Validate and Calculate on Save”
One of the most requested features from the Oracle community has finally arrived in Redwood.
The Feature: In Redwood Individual Compensation pages, the system now performs a full calculation and validation check the moment a user clicks “Save,” rather than waiting for the final “Submit.”
Calculation Rule
Any calculation rules configured in the ICP and dependent on other input values will now run when the user clicks Save, allowing users to view calculated values earlier.
Validation rule:
Any validation rules configured in the ICP and dependent on other input values will now display error messages when the user clicks Save, helping users correct issues before submission.
26A Migration/Upgrade Checklist:
Audit Profile Options: We need to Ensure ORA_CMP_WORKFORCE_COMPENSATION_REDWOOD_ENABLED is set to Yes to access the new worksheets.
Review AI Opt-ins: Check the ORA_HCM_GENAI_ENABLED profile option to ensure your AI Assist buttons are active.
VBS Testing: If we have custom fields in your old “Classic” worksheets, we must use Visual Builder Studio (VBS) to re-add them to the Redwood pages, as classic personalization does not carry over.
