Creating a Duplicate Employee

The Duplicate functionality allows you to duplicate the existing employees. You can select an employee, specify the number of duplicates they want to create, and then easily make any necessary adjustments to the duplicated employees. 

How to Create a Duplicate Employee?

To create a duplicate employee, do the following:

1.  Navigate to Maintenance > Workforce > Workforce Planning Setup. You are on the Employees tab. You can also do it from the Planning Control Panel. Navigate to Structured Planning > Planning Control Panel and open the HR - Workforce Planning template in Input mode.
2. Select an employee using the check box beside the Employee Number.
3. Click the Duplicate icon, and then specify the required number of copies. You can use the + and - buttons to increase or decrease the number of employee profile copies that you want to create.
   
   Notes:

   • By default, the number of duplicate profiles to be created is set as 1.
   • You can create up to 10 duplicates of an employee profile.
   
   
4. Click Duplicate to create one or more duplicate employee profiles. The newly-copied employee is displayed with the name preceded by Copy_.
   
   
5. To make changes to the duplicate employee, you can either:
   1. Double-click on the fields, make changes as required, and then click Save.
      
      
   2. Alternatively, you can open the employee profile, change the details as required, and click Save to process.
      Note:

      To update the Position field, change the Position Description field and save the changes. The Position field will automatically display the updated Position Description in the drop-down.
