Employee Data import - Supervisor error

Hi there,

I’ve been attempting to do our employee data import as part of our implementation. I keep running into the error ‘Supervisor is not in the system.’ whilst that exact supervisor is also in the upload document. Does this mean that I first need to upload all supervisors, before I upload the rest of the employees? 

I solved part of it by adding the department head manually, but now I run into the same error for the downstream supervisors and this seems to be very time consuming. I hope you have a solution for this! :)

Hi @Andrea, the issue has been resolved and it appears that I’m a little blind to tiny errors, which caused the issue. Thanks!

    Dear @Mirjam Settly,

    Thank you very much for sharing your question with us! 

    In order for Personio to recognize the supervisors from your import, please use their email address instead of their name in the respective Supervisor column. For this to work out, the supervisor must also be added to the template as an employee.

    For more important details about the import of employee data, please visit our help center: Import Employee Data.

    Let me know if you have further questions about this topic!

    I wish you a lovely weekend.

    Best,

    Andrea

    Hi @Andrea 

    Thanks for your response! That is actually what I have been doing; supervisors column is all filled with the supervisors emails, plus the supervisors themselves are also part of the same upload. Sadly it keeps coming back with the supervisors highlighted (and each attempt it flags new errors, I think this would be super helpful if all errors could show at once, but that’s a side tip :) ) I’m talking to Marnix this afternoon, so will let him check it with me. Thanks!
