# Seed Demo Data

> Populate a fresh BC company with starter HR records — departments, positions, shifts, leave types, a sample employee — in one click for evaluation or demos.

The extension ships with a one-click data seeder for evaluation tenants, training sandboxes, and demos. The seeder is **idempotent** — re-running it skips records that already exist, so it's safe to run repeatedly.

## Run the seeder

1. In BC, open **Tell Me** (Alt+Q).
2. Search for **HR Demo Data Generator**.
3. Click **Run Demo Seed** on the page that opens.

A confirmation dialog summarises what was inserted, broken down per section.

## What it doesn't seed

* Standard BC master data (G/L accounts, currencies, payment terms, customers, vendors). The seeder assumes you started from a CRONUS or evaluation company that already has those.
* Air Ticket Policy, EOS Config, Social Insurance Settings, Overtime Config, Vacation Time Setup, Compensation Allowances. These are higher-detail HR setup areas — configure them per the regulations you're modelling. See **[Configure HR](/getting-started/configure)**.
* Posting groups for HR (`Employees Leave Account`, `Employees Loans Account`, etc. on the Employee Posting Group extension). Set these to G/L accounts that exist in your chart of accounts before posting any HR journal entries.

## Removing demo data

There's no "wipe" action — by design, partner tools should not delete customer data. If you need a clean slate:

1. In a sandbox or test environment, drop and recreate the company. BC handles the schema reset.
2. Or selectively delete the seeded records via the relevant list pages (Department List, Position List, etc.). The sample employee `HR-EMP-001` and its dependent records (shift, leave, loan, installments) should be deleted in reverse order to avoid foreign-key violations.

<Warning>**Don't use the seeder in production.** The sample employee, loan and shift assignment are not part of your real HR data and can confuse downstream reporting. Production tenants should configure master data and create employees directly.</Warning>
