Check the Employee data as below:
- Go to Administrator workcenter
- Go to Users view
- Select Employees subview
- Select the Employee XYZ
- Select Edit
The fields Company Name and Department Name are not auto-populated. They are free text fields.
Cause
There is no defaulting implemented for the fields Company Name and Department Name.
The data in the Employee UI will be used in a letter being sent to this Employee whereas, the name of the Company in the Organizational Unit TI is more the internal name. They can be equal, but must not be equal. Therefore, the fields in the Employee TI are editable and not defaulted.
Resolution
As there is no defaulting implemented for the fields Company Name and Department Name, the User must maintain the data manually in the Employee TI.
