2146042 - Negative Age - Recruiting Management

Symptom

Is it possible to have a negative value for Age of Requisition, Time to Fill and Time To Hire?

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management 

Resolution

  • Yes it is possible under the specific conditions.
  • For example for Age of Requisition if:
    • the “Exclude time spent in hold status” option is enabled
    • the Start Date for the age of requisition is not set to “Date Created”. For example if it is set to “Approved Date”

  • In this case if a job requisition is set to “On Hold” status before the approved date for a period longer than the period between the approved date and the current date the age is negative.

For example:

neg2.jpg

The Age of the Requisition is calculated as (Current Date) – (Approved Date) – (period on Hold).

In this example 4 days – 18 days = -14.

This value will change and after 14 days from the “current date” will start to be positive.
