Staff Levels are currently calculated during the HESA extract process. There is a requirement to report on and maintain this data outwith the HESA timeframes, e.g. for gender equality MI.  A new field will be added to Oracle HR & Payroll and the PIPMI Universe for this purpose.  To reduce manual input, it is proposed that this data should be automatically generated from the Successful applicant interface from eRecruitment. An API should also be produced to update existing Staff records held in Oracle.
