Change an Employee ID

Use this procedure to change an existing employee ID.

From the Maintain menu, select Employees/Sales Reps. Sage 50 displays the Maintain Employees/Sales Reps window.
Enter or select the employee ID you want to change. To display a list of existing employees, type ? in the Employee ID field, or select the Lookup button.
Select the Change ID button on the window toolbar. Sage 50 displays the Change Employee ID window.
Enter the new ID that you want to use instead of the current ID.
When you are finished, select OK to change the ID and return to the Maintain Employees/Sales Reps window.

When you change an employee ID, all data records and transactions associated with this employee will reflect the new ID. This includes both current and past transactions.

Note: This feature is useful if you want to change the way you identify data records. For example, suppose you currently use the employee name as the employee ID. However, as your business and your staff both grow, it becomes necessary to use a scheme that is more definitive than the employee name. Consequently, you decide to begin using the employee social security number as the identifier. You can easily change this information using the Change ID option.
