1. Go to Employee File of any employee > Job Information
2. Click on or change value of one or more Job Information fields (Legal Entity, Business Unit, Department, Division, Cost Centre, etc) 

The association mentioned in 'Configure Object Definition' is not in sync with the Succession Data Model.

1. Go to Admin Centre > Configure Object Definitions > Click on Object Definition > select the Object that gives the error.
2. Scroll down to see Associations
3. Note the Association Name and Destination Object.
4. Go to Provisioning and download Succession Data Model
5. Look for the concerned Object 'hris-field' element
6. Check for the 'field-criteria' tag and compare with that under 'Configure Object Definitions'.
7. Make necessary changes as shown below:

<hris-field max-length="128" id="division" visibility="both" required="true">
<label>DEPARTMENT</label>
<field-criteria destinationFieldValue="business-unit" sourceFieldName="cust_toBusinessUnit.internalId"/>
</hris-field>

8. The mapping of the fields is done as follows:

• sourceFieldName > Association Name
• destinationFieldValue > Destination Object
