Migrate/Insert Employee/Contractors - Field "Employment Category"

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

Hi,

I will need to migrate workers from another source to Dynamics 365 Human Resources.

However, the field "Employment Category" is not available in CDS.

Is there a way to migrate this field information to D365 HR even though the field is unavailable in the CDS?

I mean, I need to specify, for each employment of each worker migrated, what is the value of this field.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Ana Alves.

    Hi Ana,

    Since the field is not available in the CDS, but available in the data entities.. you have the following options:

    1. Use DMF for uploading;
    2. Use Excel Add-in

    The data entity you can use to assign this is the employment detail

    Here is some information regarding the second option:
