duplicate person id external

[former_member26282]

hello,

my aim is to change an employees status from inactive to active. When I upload basic import csv file with status Active it says duplicated person id external. What shall I do?

Well there is quite some config for it:

And a decent section in the guide as well:
Rehire with New and Old Employments | SAP Help Portal

But I'm still getting the feeling it might rather be a data issue for the employee to be fair

checked and always the same situation

Did you, before importing, try the checkbox that allows to import inactive users and is the user id exactly the same as that of the inactive employee? Without those 2 criteria it would make sense that its rejecting here sadly.

Where is that checkbox that allows inactive user import and How is it called this permission?
