Cause

“timeInCurrentPosition” standard element is not defined in the Succession Data Model.

Resolution

Add the “timeInCurrentPosition” standard element is not defined to the Succession Data Model. To add this standard element definition to the Succession Data Model, you will need to go through a Software Change Request. See SAP Knowledge Base Article 2260511 for more information on how to request Software Change Requests.

"timeInCurrentPosition" standard element definition:

<standard-element id="timeInCurrentPosition" max-length="100" required="false" matrix-filter="false">
    <label>Time In Current Position</label>
</standard-element>

After adding the “timeInCurrentPosition” standard element definition to the Succession Data Model, you will also need to grant permissions to the element. Otherwise, the field will not appear in the Talent Card such as: Time In Current Position and Date of Position:

In Position in Talent Card is calulated based on (Time In Current Position - Date of Position).

Also need to check if there are dates entered for the user in the Date of Position field via Admin Center > Export Extended User Information > Export extended data for "Personal Information". Since the Time in Current Position is calculated based on this field (Date of Position).

For more information on this, see SAP Knowledge Base Article 2321959.
