How do I generate a new GUID code for an employee?

A new GUID code can be created for an employee when an employee is transferred from one company to another.

NOTE: Note that generating new GUID codes can result in duplicate records, please use caution when using this function.

When transferring an employee from one company to another the employee will be deactivated in the Sage Self-Service company and a new employee will be in the new Sage Self-Service company. It is important to generate a new GUID code for the new employee since the GUID codes in both companies will be the same after the transfer which will result in syncing issues.

The employee GUID number will need to be cleared and then a new code generated.

To access the Clear Employee's Master GUID Number from the Company Listing screen:

• Click on Options
• Select ESS Utilities
• Select Clear GUID in the Employee Master
• Click Continue

CAUTION: When a new GUID code is created, you will not be able to link the employee record to the existing Self-Service record with the original GUID code again 

• Enter the Company Number
• Enter the Employee Code
• Click Continue
• Click on Exit to return to the main menu

NOTE: When a new GUID was created for Self Service. the employee record will need to be uploaded to create a new Self-Service profile.

Access the Employees Information screen:

• From the Main Menu
• Click on Employee
• Select Change Employee
• Choose the Employee
• Analysis Details tab
• Tick and Untick the Self Service Con
• The GUID No will populate for the employee
