2462394 - Position to Job Info sync does not work if Position Workflow is assigned (PositionPendingDataFlag)

Symptom

  • If I update the position via the position org chart and trigger a position change workflow, the position to job info sync does not trigger.
  • If I remove the position change workflow, the position to job info sync works as normal
  • After running the Check Tool check "PositionPendingDataFlag" an error was returned in the Check Results

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

Environment

Employee Central - position Management

Cause

  • Note section 2.2.4 of the position management implementation guide.
  • when triggering an approval workflow on the position object, the "Pending Data" option on the position object definition must be set to "yes"
  • If the value is set to "no", unforeseen behaviour can occur, such as the position to job info sync not triggering.

Resolution

Please set Pending Data to "Yes" on the position object definition
