Enable REDWOOD profile options for absences

Prepared for Ahmad Chaudhry

The issue is likely that the Redwood Absence Balance page itself is not enabled yet. Do this in two stages: first enable the Redwood page, then unhide Qualified Entitlements.

Step 1 — Enable the central Redwood HCM profile
Go to:
Setup and Maintenance → Search → Manage Administrator Profile Values
Search for:
ORA_HCM_VBCS_PWA_ENABLED
Set:
Level = Site
Profile Value = Y
Save. Oracle uses this as the central switch for HCM VBCS/Redwood pages.

Step 2 — Enable Redwood Absence Balance specifically
Still in Manage Administrator Profile Values, search for:
ORA_ANC_PLAN_BALANCE_VBCS_UI_ENABLED
Set:
Level = Site
Profile Value = Y
Then click Save and Close.
This is the specific profile option Oracle lists for the Absence Balance Redwood page.
This is different from:
ORA_ANC_ADD_ABSENCE_VBCS_UI_ENABLED
That profile controls Add Absence, not Absence Balance.

Step 3 — Sign out and test again
After changing the profile values, I recommend:
Sign out → close the Fusion browser tab → sign back in
Then navigate:
Me → Time and Absences → Absence Balance
You should now be redirected to the Redwood Absence Balance page rather than the old responsive page.
Oracle confirms that Absence Balance is one of the Absence Management VBCS pages that supports Redwood extensibility.
