FAQ: I have an employee that is entered in the Employee File twice (with two different Employee IDs); how can I correct this?

If an employee is entered in the Employee File twice (with two different Employee IDs), complete the Combine IDs option by doing the following:

  • From within the Employee File, select the Options menu and then Combine IDs.
  • At the Combine IDs screen, enter the ID for the employee to combine with another in the Combine field, or click the down-arrow button to select the correct one.
    Note:  The ID entered in this field will no longer be a valid ID after the records have been combined.
  • Enter the ID for the employee to combine the first record with in the With field, or click the down-arrow button to select the correct one.
    Note:  The ID entered in this field will remain valid after the records have been combined.  If combining a vendor with an employee, the employee ID must be entered in this field so that it remains as the valid ID.
  • After all records to combine have been entered, click the Execute button.
  • When prompted to combine the IDs, click Yes.
  • A message will appear when the process is completed; click OK.
