Personnel Setup records can be combined into a single record. This may be desired when an employee or user has been set up with one or more record, for example such as when an employee is defined as a salesperson in one record and surveyor in another. The merge function can combine these two records into a single personnel record with multiple labor functions (e.g., a “Sales” role and a “OA Surveyor” role).
Use the following steps to merge two or more MoversSuite Personnel Setup records:

Locate and review the personnel records you wish to combine. Identify which of these records will serve as the primary or base record (the record that all other records will merge into).
The merge combines all records into one and combines data from the following areas: • All Branch records are combined • All Interface Mapping records are combined • All Accounting records are combined • All logged Safety events are combined (not safety dates or other information) |

Verify that all data is reviewed on the primary record prior to merging. Update, if needed. |

Use the Search function to identify the records to merge.
In many cases, simply entering a last name or first name can narrow the list to only the records needed for the one person’s records to be merged. In the example below, there are two people who have the same the last name, such as in the image below.

Of course, the records can be narrowed from the beginning by using the Advanced Search and entering the First and Last Name, which would have been more efficient.
