About Updating Non-employee Data

When updating new Non-employees in PeopleSoft, there are several steps. If you've used Search/Match to determine that the non-employee already exists in PeopleSoft, update the non-employee data as described here. (If the non-employee isn't already in PeopleSoft, newly add the employee and data.)

Finding Update Non-Employee in Peoplesoft

From within PeopleSoft, click on Main Menu > SBU > SBU Campus Community > Use > Non-Employee Data

Updating Non-employee Data

To update an existing non-employee’s information, rather than replacing existing data, you must add a new row with the new data so that the history is intact and can be tracked by Effective Date. Before you can update any data, first find the person.

1. In the Find an Existing Value tab of Modify Non-Employee, paste or type the person's Stony Brook ID (from Search/Match) into the Empl ID field 
   note: this search is not the same as Search/Match; if you forgot to check for the non-employee in Search/Match, go to Search/Match and do that now. 
2. Click Search
3. Sometimes the message "No matching values were found" appears even when you found the person/ID in PeopleSoft using Search/Match. If this happens
   1. Click the Add a New Value tab 
   2. Enter the person's Stony Brook ID (from Search/Match) into the Empl ID field and click Add
   3. In the Search Results, click on the person's Empl ID
