Importing employee data

SUGGESTED

I'm attempting to create an import job that will either create a new employee record if it does not already exist or update an existing employee if it's already present.  I'm running into an issue where existing employees are not updating and am not sure why.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.  This is for Sage 100 2018 - new payroll platform.

    I tested this in v2020 by importing names into existing employee records and had no issues. Does the Job Log indicate records are being skipped or are there errors? At the risk of being Captain Obvious, do you have "Skip Over Existing Records" checked?

    Thank you for the reply.  "Skip Over Existing Records" is not checked (that would have been too easy...LOL)  The job log indicates that the record passed with invalid fields for existing employees - the failed field being the social security number stating that it's already on file.  Tests to update the employee address do not update, so I can only assume it's due to the SSN error.
