Validating Team Member Social Security Numbers
The Social Security Number (SSN) field on the Team Member object can be validated at the point of entry in WX and the HR Manager portal. Validation is applied when the Team Member's Work Location is set to a value with the Country set to United States. Validation checks for the correct number format:
[3 numeric characters]-[2 numeric characters]-[3 numeric characters]
It does not check that the number is the Team Member's genuine SSN.
To set up validation:
-
Go to Setup > App Setup > Installed Packages.
-
For the Human Capital Management package select Configure.
-
On the HCM Configure page scroll to the bottom of the Setup section and check Enforce SSN Validation:

Select Save.
