2787336 - Is it Possible to Generate User ID via Business Rule for Global assignment or Concurrent employments or Contingent Workers?

Is it possible to generate User ID via Business Rule for Contingent Workers/Concurrent Employments/Global Assignments?

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

• Employee Central - Concurrent Employment
• Employee Central - Contingent Workforce 
• Employee Central - Global Assignment

SF now supports User ID generation via business rule for Concurrent Employment, Contingent Workers and Global Assignments similar to New Hire, with Centralized Services enabled for Regular employment.

This is to streamline the User Id generation process.

The User ID is a unique number which is associated to each employment and can’t be changed. Its sole purpose is to be the system’s unique identifier for the persons employment and is mapped from the Person ID for EC customers.

FAQ - Additional Information

Q)  How does Concurrent Employment UserID get created?

A) When the concurrent employment is added to the system, a new user ID is created automatically. The new user ID assigned is based on the next available user ID. The user name for the new user ID is set to user name-n, where n is the number of employments that user has. For example, user name 12345-2 to represent 2 employments for user 12345.
