Symptom
When trying to rehire a Contingent worker as a Full Time (Permanent) Employee, the system does not allow using the same user ID for the new permanent position.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
Reproducing the Issue
- Try to rehire a contingent worker via Admin Center > Add New Employee
- After entering the details of the contingent user, the system will pop up a duplicate check, and select "Accept Match"
- If continuing the steps with the same "Old Username", the following error is seen:
The User Name already exists. Please enter a new unique value.
Cause
Employments are separate for contingent workers and regular employees. The same username cannot be used.
Resolution
- A different username must be used other than the one existing on the system.
- This applies for contingent to regular hire and vice versa.
