• Key Concepts: 
  External Person ID is a unique identifier used in the SAP Concurrent Employment component (PA-CE) to identify an employee who has multiple concurrent employment relationships with the same or different employers. It is used to differentiate between the different employment relationships and to ensure that the employee’s data is correctly associated with the correct employer. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The External Person ID is assigned to an employee when they are first entered into the system. It is then used to identify the employee in all subsequent transactions related to their concurrent employment relationships. The External Person ID can be used to search for an employee’s data, view their employment history, and track their progress in each of their concurrent employment relationships. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that the External Person ID is kept up-to-date and accurate. This will help ensure that the employee’s data is correctly associated with the correct employer and that any changes made to their data are correctly reflected in all of their concurrent employment relationships.
