To Change Employee Personnel Numbers

Description:

Background:

Initially, Group Headquarters management decided to implement the HR module for over 350 employees in one division, using Batch IDs as Personnel IDs for identification and data management in D365. After two years, management has recognized the need for a change in the employee numbering system to improve consistency and integration across platforms. This change will affect all employee numbers, introducing a new number sequence for approximately 10,000 employees globally. As we prepare to integrate all applications globally, it is crucial to update the personnel numbers for existing employees in D365.

Expected Solution:

1. Provide a patch with functionality to change personnel numbers, mapping new personnel numbers against old employee numbers for those already created in D365.

Expected Impact:

1. Duplicate Records: Without a proper update mechanism, there may be duplicate records created.
2. Impact on Daily Operations: Operations may be disrupted due to having multiple records for the same employee.
3. Approval Workflow Issues: Existing workflows may be impacted, causing delays in approvals.
4. Business Continuity: Manual updates could halt operations, requiring significant downtime to correct records.
