Retroactively assigning Party ID to a worker

Hello,

I have an environment in which I have created an assortment of workers and assigned them to a position. Each position in turn is added to a position hierarchy (under the relationships tab) which determines the approval flow in a 3rd party solution.

Now, after having created all the setup (quite extensive) I have discovered that no party IDs were created for the workers, which prevents us from assigning a User to the person (that should be the same as the worker).

Is there a way of retroactively creating party IDs and assigning them to a worker after the worker is already created? I would hope there is a way of avoiding having to create the workers again by creating a Party ID first and then creating a new employee from that.

Any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance,

Oskar

This question is already discussed in a duplicate thread in Finance forum. If anyone wants to reply, please do it there, so we don't have two parallel discussions on the same question.

The whole issue was a misunderstanding. The users were created before this question was posted, they were assigned Party IDs. I was reacting to the fact that I could not connect a user to its corresponding worker (in the User forms), the list of possible workers to assign that matched the user seemed empty thus I concluded that there was no Worker/party ID in the system.

The real issue was that there were duplicates of users and the old version of the user was already associated with its corresponding worker, thus the worker/party ID was already "occupied". After ammending this by removing the worker connection to the old user (and subsequently deleting the old duplicate of the user) I could assign each user to its corresponding worker
