If you mistakenly save information in the People window, you can remove the person by selecting Delete Record from the Edit menu. You are prevented from performing this action if you have entered information about that person in other windows or if that person is an employee.

You can use the People window to delete applicant or external records, such as those for volunteers or contractors.

If there is a contact for the person you are deleting, the system automatically deletes a contact if:

• The contact only has basic details set up.

• The contact is not used by another person.

If the contact is used by another person or has other information such as applicant information, the contact is not deleted. However, Oracle HRMS removes all records of that contact and any relationships.

   To delete all records of a person:

1. Query the person in the Delete Person window and choose the Delete Person button.

Deleting incorrect records

If you incorrectly enter an applicant into the system, you can change the information contained in the People window, or delete the record in the People window.

If you incorrectly enter an employee into the system, for example by processing an Appointment action, you must process a Cancellation personnel action, and then delete the employee record in the People window.
