Hello,

Is it possible to restrict auto generation of Employee ID per company? This is needed only for some companies and not a system wide change.

Thanks,

Noel

Hi,

As long as you enter an Employee ID when creating an Employee, that will always override the automatic generation of ID.

There is also a property under “Company Details” called EMPLOYEEID, which controls the next ID number. Try switching that off. This setting is on company level.

Regards,
Magnus

Hi @Magnus Johansson , thanks for the suggestion.  I had removed that property from the company details and the number was still populated.  In this instance it used the system wide next available number.

I have taken your suggestion on board to just enter a value in the EmployeeID field, thus overriding the auto generation.
