Initialize Deltek Talent Management HUA ID to Costpoint Employee ID Mapping

Before you use Costpoint’s Auto-Assign Employee ID feature, you must run the Link Talent Management User IDs to Existing Employees toolkit based on your current Costpoint/Deltek Talent Management setup.

You must run the Link Talent Management User IDs to Existing Employees toolkit after downloading the Auto-Assign Employee IDs feature and before importing or exporting employees in the Transfer Talent Management Data screen. Running this toolkit will populate the HUA ID and Active HUA ID Mapping columns in the Manage Employee Information table (EMPL.hua_id and EMPL.hua_actv_map_fl).

Refer to the following scenarios and perform the corresponding steps that apply to your company's setup.

Scenario 1
