2242618 - Mass creation of Employee ID's using Import employee data functionality

Symptom

When performing Import employee data functionality to create a user, if User ID field is empty would SuccessFactors instance create a new ID?

Environment

Employee Central: Import Employee Data - (Basic Import)

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Customer is performing basic import keeping user id or person id as empty field.
  2. The import is not generating a new user 

Cause

User-id field was empty.

Resolution

  • While performing employee upload user id or person id is mandatory. If left blank it will not process the user.
  • In ‘Add new Hire’ Wizard user-id need not be mentioned, it is generated automatically or customer can specifically define a rule to generate it.
  • But in employee import (Basic import) it does not generate automatically.
  • If you would like to see  the Basic User Import automatically generate UserID, please raise this as an enhancement request via the Customer Community website.
