Changing the person type in Peoplesoft

If you have a requirement to change the person type of a person in peoplesoft all you need to do is update the PER_ORG in PS_PER_ORG_ASGN and PS_JOB tables. Run the employee refresh process located under Set Up HRMS > System Administration> Database Processes > Refresh EMPLOYEES Table and you are done. 

You might want to update the jobcodes, action/reason  and benefit program fields in the job data page if they are tied to a specific person type. For example, contractors are hired with the action/reason ADD CWR/NEW CWR. This action/reason is not valid for employees. So if you change the PER_ORG from CWR to EMP, you will also have to change the action/reason.

This tip works for PS v 8.9 onwards
