INTRODUCTION

This paper uses a worked example to describe the following: Use of Person ID as an input
parameter when creating a value set for a document record flexfield segment.

Note: This feature is available from Release 19A onwards.

WORKED EXAMPLE

An employee wants to upload certain documents for their contact, such as spouse, parent, or child.
To do this:

 The implementor defines a segment for the descriptive flexfield (DFF).

 The implementor defines a value set that will display the values of the contacts based on the
person ID of the employee.

 The employee selects a contact from the list of contacts on the document record creation
page and creates a document record for the selected contact.

PROCEDURE

1. Define the DFF (PER_DOCUMENTS_OF_RECORD_DFF) for document records.

WHERE Clause:
CR.PERSON_ID = :{PARAMETER.PERSONID}
and CR.CONTACT_PERSON_ID = ppnf.person_id
and trunc(sysdate) between CR.effective_start_date and CR.effective_end_date
and trunc(sysdate) between ppnf.effective_start_date and
ppnf.effective_end_date
