• Is it possible to Import an Employee into Successfactors BizX system with status "inactive"?
• When I try to import users into my instance with the status "inactive" I receive the following error in job completion notification - "The import process only allows the updating of an existing inactive user.

It is not possible to import a new user with "inactive" status as per system design

The user must be imported with active status and then change the status to inactive

It is supported to update existing inactive users information as the error message suggests. With "Process inactive Employees" option checked for import, fields can be updated.
