While enrolling into benefits we are able to enroll dependents, however the 'personRelationshipType' Picklist field drop does not populate the value from the dependent record.

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

Cause

Mis-configuration of personRelationshipType and relationShipType picklist or picklist value codes.

Resolution

The expected picklist for Benefits is "relationShipType", so the configuration needs to be adjusted:

  • The picklist for the field 'relationship-type' in personRelationshipInfo in Manage usiness Configuration should be 'personRelationshipType'. - Custom Picklist is not supported for this configuration. 
  • The picklist for the field "relationShipType" in Benefit objects (such as "BenefitInsuranceDependentDetail" and "Insurance Dependent Type") should be 'relationShipType'.
  • The External Code for each value in both picklists must be the same for the Dependents relationship type to work in conjunction with EC Global benefits.
