When in this situation, I will generally use a display only form as a filter rather than interacting with the People form directly.
the process goes like this LDAP Vendor Form (AD Data)--> Display Only Form (DataShaper) --> CTM:People In my DataShaper Display Only form, I have filters that validate and shape the data so that I know what I try to send to CTM:People will be successful and any outliers are either ignored (if they are expected and flagged as such) or an alternative error handling mechanism is triggered. (For instance, creating an incident) In your case, with a missing manager login ID, the code for pulling in that login id would happen prior to me pushing the data to CTM:People. If I couldn't find one, I'd generate an incident. For the first few runs in a new environment, I generally don't create incidents, but instead log and actively research the kinds of problems that are happening. That way I can come up with a better ruleset and the number of incidents created in a live environment are small and less likely to be ignored. A design like this keeps the customization out of CTM:People - which is subject to change with upgrades or patches and collects all of the data shaping code in one purpose-built location so it can be easily referenced and any changes are isolated to a single integration point. It's pretty easy to throw together and it will save you many headaches down the road.
