This KBA is also applicable for the CPI process SAP ERP or SAP S/4HANA Integration with SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central: Cost Center.

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

• SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite
• Boomi
• Cloud Platform Integration (CPI)

1. On SuccessFactors, define a custom navigation field "cust_toCompany" with Company as Destination Object under Admin Center > Configure Object Definitions > Cost Center, as below:
   
   
   
   
2. In Boomi, go to Atom Management > Environment Extensions, and define the value for the process property "COMPANY_ID_TARGET_FIELD" as below:
   
   
   
   
3. Execute the process
4. The above value will be passed in the Upsert payload sent to SF:
   "cust_toCompany": "1001"
5. Error occurs

The parameter COMPANY_ID_TARGET_FIELD supports only fields (custom fields) and does not support associations (navigations) - this is explained in the handbook pages below:

1. Boomi
2. CPI

In those pages, the folowing statemtent can be found under COMPANY_ID_TARGET_FIELD explanation: The custom field must not be a navigation field.

Since "cust_toCompany" is defined as an association to Company object, the "unknown property" error message is returned.

You will need to create a custom field (not an association) in Cost Center object and specify this custom field name in COMPANY_ID_TARGET_FIELD parameter.
