Hi,

We have 144 employees who have been created incorrectly with a system person type of Employee, I need to change these to a system person type of Contingent worker.

If there is a way to change the existing records or is it best to terminate the employee record and then create a new contingent worker period of placement from the next day?

Manually we can do this by terminating the employee record and creating a new placement from the next day, but the hr_period_of_services_api and hr_period_of_placement_api don't seem to have the correct functionality regarding terminations to work properly to do this at database level.

Has anyone ever done this before and could you please help me with the processes you used to make the change?

Many thanks

Martin

Hello Martin

I've never tried it myself, but on a nearby 11.5.10 instance I note with interest that there is an API called hr_contingent_worker_api.convert_to_cwk - might be worth experimenting with that as a start?

Thanks CT,

This seems to have worked for me, I had to terminate the employee record first using:

hr_ex_employee_api.actual_termination_emp
hr_ex_employee_api.final_process_emp

I then ran the

hr_contingent_worker_api.convert_to_cwk

and the employee is now a contingent worker.

Thanks again

Martin

Thanks for letting us know - very useful little snippet there.
