Symptom

  • How do I add or remove a new Business Unit, Department or Location of a job requisition?
  • How do I add or remove a new Business Unit, Department or Location of the External Career Site?

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management

Resolution

Division, Department and Location are standard fields, and should be configured as defined in the Implementation Guide. There is no way to add or remove a value from these fields other than adjusting the data stored on BizX user profiles (Admin Center > Employee Export). A workaround to add new values would be to create dummy user accounts so that they can specify new values, and this can be done through import via the employee file. Values can also be updated using the same method.

The same also applies to remove values: you need to update the User Data File making inactive the users that have the location you'd like to remove. As long as there is at least one active user using that location, this information will show up on the dropdown.

It as also possible to add an inactive dummy user to the export file in order to add a new division, department or location value. To do this, please ensure you have the following setting disabled in Manage recruiting settings - "Do not allow users to select inactive Divisions, Departments and Locations in the career site job search or when editing requisitions".

Please note that the above solution is for enum type fields only.
