Hi Rajat,

If you don’t need to display the employee ID beforehand, you can then simply commit the employee in a microflow. Prior to your commit activity, you have 2 options:

  1. Assuming you can delete employees, you can retrieve the employee with the highest value and increment it
  2. Assuming you will never delete employees, you can do a retrieve count and increment the count value

These methods ensure that you only take into consideration the committed employee entities. As a word of caution, this may have issues when you have multiple user and simultaneous transactions.

Alternatively, you can use the Autonumber attribute, but it will not roll the value back should you cancel the creation of the employee
