2447062 - Reading data from custom MDF objects of User type on Employment Details via Business Rules

• Is it possible to read data from custom MDF objects of User type from Employment Details in Business Rules? For example, can we read if a custom MDF record exists for an employee during Termination event?
• Is it possible to write data from an MDF object to a HRIS field via business rules?

• SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
• SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite
• Metadata framework (MDF)

Currently, we do not support such feature. It is possible to read from Employee Central to a custom object (see KBA 2324639), but NOT the other way around.

For writing data from HRIS fields to custom MDF object via business rules, this is only possible via rules if the external code field on the MDF object is data type USER. If not, this is not possible. Data Type USER refers to the user id of a user. Each time an instance of an object, i.e. Alternate cost distribution, the external code of an instance of this will be the user id of the person it is created for.
