Manage Document Records

You may need to manage documents that employees submit for various organizational requirements. Documents such as birth certificate, driver's license, passport, and visa are attached in an employee's document record. You can use the documentRecords resource to create, update, and delete document records and attachments for employees.

Let's discuss these scenarios:

Create a Document Record with Attachment

Let's say that Jason needs to travel on business and is required to submit his passport details. Denise Parker, Jason's HR representative, creates a document record for him with the passport attachment.

To create a document record with attachment:

  1. Perform a POST operation on the documentRecords resource by providing the person number, document and attachment details in the request body.
  2. Verify that the document record and its attachments are created for the worker in Oracle HCM Cloud.
