How can I create employees with the same name?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, it is possible to create multiple employee records with the same name. However, each employee record must have a unique Employee ID. If you are unable to create an employee with the same name, it could be due to custom solutions applied in your environment or SuitePeople preventing it if you have such. If you are facing an issue where NetSuite won't let you create an employee because there is already another employee with the exact same name, you can work around this by modifying the calculated ID for one of the employee records. Please note that NetSuite does not allow duplicate employee IDs. Another workaround could be to add a prefix or suffix to the employee's name, such as the employee number from the HRIS or payroll system. This would make the name unique in the system. If you need to change the employee's name to reflect a client's request, you can simply edit the employee record and change the name as needed. For example, if an employee named "Jeffery Barr" would rather be referred to as "Jeff Barr", you can edit the employee record and change the first name to "Jeff". ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
