1. Navigate to Import Employee Data and select entity = Employment Details.
2. Upon clicking on Validate, no error is reported. However, when Import is selected, the error message is displayed.

In the imported file, for new user A:

user id = NNNNNN, person-id-external = MMMMMM

But observed from Manage login account,  NNNNNN is already set as a login name for user A.

For user A, set Login name = MMMMMM in Manage login account. And then user id NNNNNN can be accepted during employment details import.
