## Known Issues & Restrictions - The feed is always a Full Feed i.e., only lines for associates where a change is required or a complete list of associates. - To terminate an employee, you'll need to set the termination date and status as inactive (0). - To render an associate inactive, you'll need to set the status as inactive (0). Though if an associate is on sabbatical leave, they can be rendered active based upon their return to work. - If an associate works in all the stores, you cannot set the associate as "All" under additional\_store\_ids. Instead, you must set each store number (there is no limit on how many store numbers can be included in the field). - In the initial file upload, the required Target Fields (denoted by an asterisk) must be mapped so they can be available as columns. However, they don’t need to have values and just need to line up with the schema. ![Example](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-commerce-retail-264-0-0-production-enus/17d647fb-8988-49fb-9add-c4f4cc79c9e4/images/icon_example.png) Example Example feed: [associates\_sample\_feed.csv](https://resources.docs.salesforce.com/rel1/doc/en-us/static/misc/associates_sample_feed.csv)
