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.
