I figured that was the reason why username deletions would be discouraged since this is an ERP system and auditing related matters are essential.
Given the fact that usernames are not deletable and can only be disabled, wouldn't it cause problems related to running out of usernames to assign to subsequent employees. I.e. over time, there would be less and less available usernames to assign to new employees. Also given that usernames cannot be recycled for another employee and given that employees come and go, has no company ever encountered such a problem so far?
