How can i import ProjWorkerRecId in ProjJournalTrans table from an Excel file with three leading zeros?

Hello everyone,

I am trying to import some data from Excel file to the ProjJournalTrans table. I have trouble with one specific field, and it is the ProjWorkerRecId. So far this is my code lines for that field:

  ProjWorkerRecId      employeeID;

   employeeID = any2real(strFmt("0000%1", any2int(cells.item(row, 4).value().double())));

   projJournalTrans.Worker              = employeeID;

My problem it that if for example, the Excel has the number "000013" in the cell for the worker ID, this code registers "13" in the table, which is translated to "unknown worker" and not "000013", which actually translates to an employee's name. What can I do to make the code register "000013" as it should?

Thank you

    Hi MKyriakopoulou,

    The worker ID "000013" is not stored in a record ID. You need to find a PersonnelNumber (string value) and then find the worker record based on a string value. This worker record can return the record ID to be used on the journal transaction.

    Hello André,

    Thank you so much for answering. I do not understand though, how do I do that? Do I have to replace " ProjWorkerRecId " in my code with "PersonelNumber"? I am sorry for this question, but I am a beginner in AX so I am a bit confused...

    Hi MKyriakopoulou,

    The HCMWorker table has a find method called findByPersonnelNumber(). It needs the personnel  number. This should be taken from the Excel file and then ensure you have the leading zeros. You can use this to get the HCMworker record. Then you can fill the worker field with the record ID of the HCM worker table.
