Configuring the Last Employee ID Assigned Number
You need to review and update the Last Employee ID Assigned numbers on your systems to ensure EMPLID values are assigned in proper ranges and to prevent data integrity problems with conflicting EMPLID values being assigned.
-
In an owner/subscriber configuration, the database instance that is the system of record for personal information is responsible for assigning the next EMPLID value.
-
In a subscriber-only configuration, both databases assign EMPLID values. Determine the range of EMPLID values that can provide the maximum number of new persons expected to be added to each system over its lifetime. For example, you may anticipate more new persons to be added first to your CS system, therefore set the Last Employee ID Assigned value in the CS instance to a value that will allow for the most growth over time.
This step should be done with careful evaluation of the EMPLID number strategy you have implemented. Consider the following:
-
Do you have custom EMPLID assignment routines that are used to set the next ID number?
-
Do your users have established business practices that reserve certain number ranges?
-
Which system is expected to typically create the most new persons?
To update the Last ID Assigned, navigate to This navigation is the same for both CS and HCM.
On the Last ID Assigned page, update the Last Employee ID Assigned field to the number desired.
