Symptom

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 HCM Suite
- SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
Cause
On the current version of Employee Central
- It is not possible to change, hide or add the filters in Generate document screen.
- In case something is not specified, system will consider all values for it.
Filters: Country, Language, Template, User, Document Type
For example: If country and language is not specified, but only user and the document template is selected, that would be enough to generate the document.
Also, the buttons 'Generate and Email' and 'Download' are not separately permissioned, so if the user has access to the tool, it will have access to both. It is not possible to disable or hide either one.
Resolution
In case this is important to your business, we encourage you to submit an idea for SAP SuccessFactors Products to have this functionality considered within future development cycles, please consider opening an enhancement request.
