Hello All,
Can you please help me to know how can we have different number sequences for different hire types? i.e. I want to have one number sequence which should be followed for Employees; Other number sequence that should be followed for Contractors.
Thanks,
Akanksha Jha
Hi Akanksha,
you can only setup up 1 number sequence for personnel numbers:
You can allow the user to change the generated number to a lower or higher number, but that's not advised due to risk of data errors.
Why would you need this, as this is just a number, and logic (differece between worker and contractor) is identified somehwere else in the system?
Hi AkankshaJha,
In the standard version, workers are created with only one number sequence, the "Personnel Number".
Why do you want to two different sequences?
Hi QianQW,
While doing the hiring from Personnel Management we have Hire Employee option and Hire Contractor option. So, for Employees it should follow different number sequence and for Contactor it should be different.
E.g:- For Employees it should be may be 3**** and for Contractors it should be 5****.
You want to distinguish them by number sequences, but they're both workers, share the worker's personnel number, and share most of their attributes.
There are also differences between the two, e.g. an employee can join the company's compensation plan, a contractor cannot. But these are not distinguished by the number sequence.
