Efficient way to terminated multiple employees


I have to terminate over 1000 employees. Is there a quick way to do that?

Using the API, not deleting directly from the tables.

Hi @KKSloane, I would not recommend you to do it via a backend direct data modification. Because employment termination is not just a state change, it could be updating multiple tables with multiple records. Therefore if you missed to update a single location then it might trigger future additional issues - data integrity could be harmed. So if there is no standard mechanism for Apps9 version, best option would be to go for a customized modification by your development organization, so that you can do it from the application itself.

I’m going to do it via the backend.

Hi @KKSloane, ah yes that functionality is there in the Apps10 version, sorry for the confusion, will get back if found a workaround for Apps9.

This is Apps9. There is no option when you right-click on an Employee on the Employees form to terminate or change status.

Hi @KKSloane , you can navigate to ‘Employees’ window and search the selection of the employee list. Then RMB and click ‘Terminate Employment’. Then proceed with the dialog box which is opening afterwards.
