As an example please see the below screenshot:
Environment

- Contingent Workforce
Reproducing the Issue

- The system will get an error message. - The events with externalCode [SCWK, ECWK] are missing in the picklist event. Verify that the event is configured and status has been set to ACTIVE
Cause
-
If "Enable Contingent Workers" option is enable in Provisioning we must have those picklist configured as the system is requesting.
Resolution
- Go to Admin Center.
- Select Picklist Management.
- Export the data format.
- Save the file and open it.
- Fill the file with the Picklists you need to add in the system, in our Example is SCWK and ECWK. If you don´t need those picklist to be showing you can fill the Status column for the new picklist as OBSOLETED.
- Save the file and Import it in Admin Center. Make sure to select "Are all the Picklist new ? YES"
You will be able to Import the Employee Data.
