  • The assigned Supervisor does also not see a notification for an approval request

Environment

SuccessFactors Learning Management

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Login to the affected user's LMS account via user logon URL
  2. View Learning Plan displayed on the home page
  3. Open an Item and you will see "Pending Approval"

Cause

Pending Approval is there because the item was added to the user's Learning Plan and approval was requested at an earlier date. Since that time, the item was removed without Approval being Accepted/rejected.

Resolution

  1. In The LMS Admin, Go to Users
  2. Search for the User by filling out the required details
  3. Click on "Search"
