SAP SuccessFactors Job Description Manager

Important Notes Before Importing:

• The import functionality of Families/Job Roles/Competencies does not provide a template directly inside SuccessFactors to update/create new data
• Below are examples of how to build a file for the “Import Job Roles” functionality (also known as “Job Family/Roles/Competency Mapping Import”)
• Unlike files used for importing new Families & Roles, the header is visible when importing a mapping between Job Codes and Job Roles
• The system will automatically detect how to handle this file so long as the mapping file is configured according to system specifications
• The mapping of Job Codes to Roles can only be done after the creation of the Families & Roles. For more information on how to import new Families & Roles, refer to KB article 2161377

Steps/Checks for Importing:

1. It is strongly recommended to export the current mapping state before doing an import:
1. Navigate to the Admin Center
2. Search for Manage Job Roles
3. Select a family > Select all roles > Select the Choose dropdown > Download
2. Load the entire mapping using the below header:

• Note:
• The entire mapping must be imported every time as the system will always do a complete overwrite of all mappings.

Column Descriptions:

• JOBCODE: Contains the Job Code to be associated with a Role
• FAMILY: Name of the Family that contains the Role for which you are mapping a Job Code to
• ROLE: Name of the Role that you are associating a Job Code to
• MODULE: Can be default or Succession depending on how your company uses it. For example, if you only want the role to be used in association with Talent Pools, but not used in other areas/modules, you would select Succession.

Note:

• A Role can have several Job Codes associated with it. To achieve this, the FAMILY and the ROLE column can repeat the same value as many times as needed
• A new row for every Job Code being mapped is required
