Map Employees - HR Management Integrations

Prev Next

For an HR management integration, employees in the HR system must be mapped to employees in R365. This is done on the Employees tab of the Integrations Mapping screen. Employees can only be mapped for HR system locations mapped to R365 locations.

When mapping employee records, the mapping list can be switched between viewing HR system records or R365 records. Typically, viewing the source record list (HR system records) is the most efficient way to complete mappings.

Employee mapping steps are the same across all HR management integrations, including AllianceHCM, Workday, UKG, and Netchex.

When manually creating employees, the employee record is only created when Save is clicked.

When changing mappings, data is only updated moving forward. To update historical labor data, the DSS will need to be re-imported.


Security

Only users with the following permission can map employees for an HR Employee Management integration:

  • Administration → Integrations → 3rd Party HR Admin


Automapped Employees

When automatic sync is turned on, employees for mapped locations are automatically mapped if any of the following data points match in both systems:

  • Payroll ID = HR System Employee ID

  • First + Last Name

When viewing employee mapping, automatically mapped employees are prefaced with ‘Auto - ’.
