JD Edwards EnterpriseOne HCM Self-Service Overview

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Human Capital Management (HCM) Self-Service system from Oracle allows employees to complete tasks online through a company intranet site. Self-service reduces the handling of documents between employees and the human resources department by allowing employees to access information, forms, and services through desktop computers. For example, employees can use self-service to review and update personal data and enroll in benefits online. When employees update information through self-service, the changes made by the employee can be posted to a temporary workfile, where a company representative can review the changes before posting them to the employee database.

The type of information that is available on your self-service website is defined by your company. For example, your company might allow employees to make address changes but not benefits changes.

Employee and manager self-service are applications that you can purchase in addition to the human capital management products. To use employee or manager self-service, you must have purchased some or all of the human capital management products.

This is a table of the employee and manager applications that you can use based on the human capital management modules that you have purchased:
