2482772 - System behavior when importing employee data with NO_OVERWRITE

Symptom

  • You would like to import Job Information data for Employees without making any changes
  • Columns, aside from the Business Key Fields, are populated with &&NO_OVERWRITE&&
  • Only the Timestamp needs to be updated for the employees included in the file

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors HCM Cloud
  • Employee Central 2.0

Resolution

Please set the following permissions in your system as per your business requirement:

  • You have set the Permission Settings  Administrator Permissions > Employee Central Import Settings > Enable Business Rules for selected entities permission.
  • You have set the Permission Settings  Administrator Permissions > Employee Central Import Settings > Enable execution of rules against NO_OVERWRITE permission.

If the permission Enable execution of rules against NO_OVERWRITE is enabled and the permission for the HRIS entity is enabled under Enable Business Rules for selected entities, business rules attached with the selected Employee Central import entity will also update fields that are marked as NO_OVERWRITE in your import file template. If you do not want to execute rules when fields are marked as NO_OVERWRITE in the import file, then disable the above permission. 

You can refer to the following section of the handbook for more details regarding business rules execution during import: Configuring Business Rules for Data Imports

You can find details about Role-based Permissions (RBP) for employee data import in the following section of the handbook: Role-Based Permissions for Employee Data Import
