Is there a way to pre-populate the New Employee wizard's Person ID field with the next system-generated value, so it doesn't need to be filled in manually when creating an employee from an existing person record?

Answer

A workflow that creates the underlying Person record before the New Employee assistant finishes (rather than trying to read a not-yet-created next-ID value) avoids the "Person Info Does Not Exist" error and lets the assistant pick up the newly generated Person ID — this is achievable through a workflow rather than requiring a full customization.
