Additional storage is available for purchase after the SAP SuccessFactors Production Release on May 21, 2021. For more information please refer to:

• Customer Community Portal: Attachment Storage Limits Experience Change

How to request additional storage?

Please contact your Account Team/CEE’s to work with you on placing an order under SKU 8009345 (SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite, attachment storage add-on (500 GB)).

How does allocation of purchased storage work? Why can’t some customers see an increase in allocation even after a purchase is made?

When additional storage quantity is bought, it is first allocated to the deficit (if any) that is currently overallocated. (Overallocated – Storage above the free 500 GB allocation for all productive tenants). If a customer who is overallocated wants to extend their storage allocation, the purchase order must account for deficit + desired allocation when order quantity decisions are made. Else, the purchased quantity goes against the deficit and customer is unable to see an increase in Total Storage Allocation.

What to know about pricing for additional storage?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

1. Is it possible to delete old attachments directly from Manage Documents page?

Answer: The "delete" option is only applicable for attachments uploaded directly in Manage Documents page. Should you require to delete attachments uploaded outside this, you can do any of the following:

• You can navigate to the module page where the attachment was uploaded and delete/remove it from there.
• You can also opt to use the Auto Data Purge option which allows auto purging of attachments in BizX, depending on the retention time set. More details can be found on this section of the admin guide.

2. Why are deleted attachments still visible under Manage Documents page?

Answer: If an attachment was deleted or removed directly from the module page where it was uploaded and is still visible under Manage Documents page, this means that the module attachment is using "soft deletion". To improve consistency across all module attachments in BizX, we are targeting to fix this in the next release (b2111). Further updates regarding this enhancement will be provided in this KBA.

3. Post refresh, why are attachments in my TARGET instance showing "The document you are trying to access has been removed from the system" when downloaded from Manage Documents page?

Answer: This is expected behavior as discussed in KBA 2900061. As announced in b2005 release, attachments are not included for BizX Refreshes (both Manual and Automated refreshes).

4. I have storage values falling under "Out of Compliance" bucket. What does this mean?

Answer: This means that you consumed storage space over the base allocation set for BizX tenants (500 GB). Anything that falls under "Out of Compliance" is subject to charges and will be discussed with you during renewals. Please reach out to your  CSM, CEEs or Account Managers for further details on purchasing additional storage.

5. If I have a value in out of compliance storage, will I be prevented from uploading attachments?

Answer: No. In this scenario, customers will be not be prevented from uploading attachments in BizX. However, consumed storage outside base allocation are subject to charges during renewals. See question #4 above.

6. I already consumed the total allocation storage for my BizX instance, what is the next step?

Answer: Please reach out to your CSM/CEE/ Account Manager to purchase additional storage for your tenant. To avoid further issues, we advise that you purchase additional storage before you reach the limit.
