Everybody of you know how important is Self-Serive w.r.t. to Oracle Apps. Its through self-service that employes and managers can request for transactions without actually having the access to the form-based system sitting in their offices, sipping hot coffee!!

I am sure you would be knowing that when you create and register a new EIT, it comes under the seeded Extra Information function that Oracle provides and Employees and Managers can perform transactions through that. It a really easy to use and great functionality provided by Oracle, but the problem arises when you have a lot of EITs configured onto your system. A typical organization would be having a min of 10 EITs configured. Now imagine the hassle when an employee has to everytime scroll through the webpage to search for the Self-Service EIT that you want to perform transaction on. So what can be done!? Thankfully there is a trivial solution to this. We can configure the EIT as a standalone function in Self-Service. As a result when the Employee/Manager clicks on the function, the corresponding EIT page is what opens. Here we will discuss about how to create an EIT and enable in Self-Service. and mooooore 🙂 , we got very good file from our AppsLead user. this user decided to share his experience in SSHR so he send us attached file which include full scenario for EIT in self service.
