2441320 - Trigger workflow on import

Symptom

Does EC support triggering workflow on import

"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 Employee Central: Employee Data Import

Resolution

Workflows are triggered when data is imported in Incremental Load mode only.

  • The record being imported results in an insert of a new time slice in job history and not correction of an existing record.
  • The reason being incremental inserts are considered as effective changes in Job History, while incremental updates are considered as job corrections.

Note: EC does not support the triggering of workflows during Full Purge import mode.

Workflows configured with Job History:

  • All workflows are triggered when data is imported in Incremental Load mode only.

Termination Details

  • When terminating the employment a user on a global assignment, the system now uses the End Global Assignment workflow rather than the Termination workflow as was previously done.

Workflow configured with Non-Recurring Pay Component:

  • A workflow is created for each record resulting in multiple records being processed for a user. Without Centralized services setting enabled, a workflow would be created for only one user record. The remaining records for the user will not be processed.

PS: Workflows are not supported on CompInfo / PayCompRecurring imports.
