How can we edit employee number?

Hi All,

**We're trying to search for an article for this but we cannot find one here. If there is, please direct us to the article.**

We are trying to edit an employee's employee ID and we cannot find a way to do this from the people screen (we need to remove the 1st 3 letters in the ID). Is there a way to edit it without having to deactivate any feature in the system? Thank you and your response will be greatly appreciated.
