New Save button in Oracle Redwood’s Compensation pages lets users save in-progress tasks, boosting flexibility and streamlining HR workflows.
Oracle continues to enhance user experience in Redwood with a much-anticipated update—the introduction of the Save button functionality in the Salary and Individual Compensation pages. This new enhancement is a game-changer for compensation administrators and HR managers using Oracle Cloud HCM Redwood UI, as it allows them to save in-progress transactions and return later to complete them without losing any data.
Previously, users had to complete all compensation-related changes—such as salary adjustments or individual contributions—in a single session. This often led to frustration and inefficiencies, especially when interruptions occurred. With this update, Oracle addresses a significant usability gap, empowering organizations to streamline compensation workflows, reduce redundant efforts, and improve overall HR process efficiency.
Whether you are managing multiple employee transactions or handling approvals, this new Redwood Save feature delivers the flexibility and control needed to work more productively within Oracle HCM.
Previously, the Redwood compact guided flows in Oracle HCM did not support saving in-progress transactions. This limitation often meant that users had to complete compensation or salary changes in one go. If interrupted, they’d lose their progress and have to start over. This was a significant usability gap, especially for managers handling multiple tasks or approvals.
Recognizing this, Oracle has now enabled the Save feature in both Salary and Individual Compensation Redwood pages, bringing them in line with user expectations and enterprise-grade usability standards.
To access Personal Contribution:
To access Individual Compensation:
You need to enable the profile option for the individual compensation called ORA_CMP_INDIVIDUAL_COMPENSATION_REDWOOD_ENABLED.
By default, the profile option is set to N, meaning the feature is disabled.

The newly introduced Save button feature in Redwood’s Salary and Individual Compensation pages significantly improves how compensation transactions are managed in Oracle HCM. Here’s a detailed look at the key benefits of this enhancement:
One of the most impactful advantages of this enhancement is the ability to save incomplete compensation tasks and return to them later. This is particularly useful in dynamic work environments where HR professionals or managers may be interrupted or need to shift focus. Now, users no longer have to rush or complete transactions in a single session. This capability reduces errors and enhances precision, ensuring that compensation changes are thoughtfully reviewed before submission.
Previously, users were forced to restart entire transactions if they couldn’t complete them in one go, leading to frustration and wasted effort. With this Redwood compensation enhancement, the Save button allows in-progress data to be preserved securely. This avoids repetitive work and enhances productivity, making the compensation process more user-friendly and efficient.
Managers often juggle multiple responsibilities and approvals. This new feature allows them to pause and resume compensation entries without losing work. Whether it’s managing salary revisions, bonuses, or other individual compensation components, this added flexibility supports better multitasking and time management. It also aligns with modern enterprise needs where decision-makers require on-the-go control and convenience.
By integrating the Save functionality, organizations can now streamline their compensation workflows. HR teams and compensation administrators can work more efficiently, as they can plan, review, and execute transactions without the time pressure of completing everything in one session. This update supports smoother operations and better collaboration across teams.
Since users can review saved transactions before final submission, the chances of data errors or policy non-compliance are reduced. It provides time for proper validation and alignment with internal compensation policies, which is crucial for ensuring both compliance and employee satisfaction.
While the new Save functionality in Redwood’s Salary and Individual Compensation pages is a major enhancement, it comes with specific usage behaviors and limitations that users and administrators should be aware of. Understanding these nuances ensures smooth adoption and optimal performance of the feature within your Oracle HCM workflows.
Currently, Redwood supports saving only one compensation transaction at a time per user. If there’s already a saved draft in progress, the system will not allow a new one to be created simultaneously. This limitation helps maintain data integrity and prevents conflicting updates.
When a user tries to initiate a new compensation action while a draft exists, they’ll receive a prompt with two options:
This user-friendly prompt ensures that managers and compensation admins stay in control of their data and don’t accidentally overwrite important information.
It’s important to note that this Save feature behaves differently compared to Oracle’s traditional classic or responsive UI components. In those versions, save and draft functionalities may follow separate logic. Redwood’s drawer-based, guided UI structure adds a modern layer of interactivity and behavior that users must adapt to for effective usage.
Understanding how business rules are evaluated is essential for maintaining data accuracy and workflow consistency:
This layered validation approach ensures progressive error checking, allowing users to identify and fix issues at the right stages of the transaction.
The new Save button in Redwood’s Salary and Individual Compensation pages brings a meaningful upgrade to Oracle HCM, allowing users to save in-progress transactions and resume them later. This enhancement streamlines compensation workflows, reduces repetitive data entry, and improves efficiency for HR teams and managers handling multiple tasks.
By enabling greater control and flexibility, this update supports a smoother, more user-friendly experience. Organizations can now manage compensation activities more effectively, ensuring better accuracy, faster approvals, and alignment with modern workforce needs.
