2939946 - How to get the "personId" of an employee

Symptom

Under Biographical Information portlet, the ID value you see is actually the personIdExternal value of the employee:

Technically, personId and personIdExternal are different things and it may be useful to know the personId.

So how can we confirm what is the personId value of this employee?

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

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite

Resolution

You can check this info using Data Inspector:

  1. Open Data Inspector tool
  2. Select "Table_PER_PERSON" entity
  3. In the filter section, provide the employee's personIdExternal in "Person ID External" field:



  4. Click on "Show Data" button
  5. The employee's personId value will be shown in "Person ID" column:

So, in the example above, personId=2541 and personIdExternal=joliver.
