When loading employee records, the fields in the load file must include either ‘kno’ (employee number) or ‘ni-no’ (NI/social security/national ID number). However, records with blank ‘kno’ are permitted, which means you can add a new employee and let Coins ERP+ auto-generate the number. Also, if records have no ‘kno’ field but the ‘ni-no’ is specified, and if there is no matching existing employee, this is taken as an add with the employee number to be auto-generated.
When attempting to add a new employee with no specified employee number, auto-numbering applies if configured; otherwise, a standard validation error is issued.
