2320435 - Overdue items listed by the Learning Expiration Email Notification

Symptom

The "Learning Expiration Email Notification" automatic process (APM) has successfully run, and the "SuccessFactors Overdue Learning Notification" checkbox is unchecked; however, the Learning Expiration Notification email contains the overdue items as well as items about to expire.

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 Learning

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to System Administration > Automatic Processes >
  2. Select Learning Expiration Email Notification >
  3. Uncheck the "SuccessFactors Overdue Learning Email Notification" checkbox >
  4. Run the Learning Expiration APM >
  5. The email notification received lists overdue items.

Cause

This is the expected system behavior.

Resolution

  • The Learning system does not allow to disable the overdue items notification.
  • By checking and un-checking the box, you only configure the application to segregate the content into a different emails if required:

    1. If the "SuccessFactors Overdue Learning Email Notification" check box (in Email Notification Defaults) is checked, the system will send out two different emails:
      i. One for items that are going to expire (expiration e-mail)
      ii. Another one for expired items (overdue e-mail)
    2. If this check box (in Email Notification Defaults) is unchecked, the Learning Expiration Email Notification will contain overdue items and the system will send out a single email (expiration e-mail) for both expired and to-be-expired items
    3. This preference can be set using following steps:
      i. System Administration > Automatic Processes
      ii. Select Learning Expiration Email Notification
      iii. Set or unset the "SuccessFactors Overdue Learning Email Notification" as per the requirement:
