How are contract numbers generated?

Contract numbers are automatically generated by prefixing the person number with 'CONT'. For example, if the person number is 17040, the contract number would be CONT17040. Subsequent contracts of the assignment would have suffix numbers, for example CONT17040-2, CONT17040-3.

You can override these generated numbers and assign contract numbers manually.

Note: If you don't enter the contract number manually in add person flows (Hire an Employee, Add a Contingent Worker, Add a Pending Worker, or Add a Nonworker), then the contract number is generated at the time of submit. Therefore, you can't view the auto generated contract number while performing the transaction. This behavior occurs irrespective of the person number generation method.
