Can I load legacy Person Numbers when the Person Number Generation Method is set to Automatic?

When you use HDL to load legacy Person Numbers for new employees, you don't need to switch the Person Number Generation Method from Automatic to Manual.

The Person Number Generation Method can be set to Automatic and a legacy Person Number value can be included in the HCM data file. Doing this will allow those legacy Person Numbers to be used in the application.

When future people are added, they will start based on the Initial Person Number setting, which should be at least 1 number higher than the highest legacy Person Number to prevent overlapping in future. If no value is included in the HCM data file, then a unique numeric Person Number will be assigned to them based on the next available number in the sequence.
