Oracle HRMS: Create Employees in Oracle HRMS from Excel

Oracle EBS- How to create Employees in Oracle HRMS from an Excel File

Oracle has a powerful Excel based tool- Web ADI- Web Application Desktop Integrator which can be used with some simple set up to upload data into Oracle HRMS and create Employees. Oralce also offers some intergration tools and Application Programming Intefaces - APIs. There are many Oracle HRMS APIs in R12. With using Oracle HR APIs and Web ADI features, you can make it easy for users to do a mass/bulk uploading of Empoyee records. This can come handy at the time of acquisions or mergers. You can also use this for a new implementation of Oracle HRMS. With a little training, you can enable your HR staff to upload new employees on the ongoing basis.
Here is a guide for an Oracle Functional Consulatant to get this done.
