Symptom
When we hire a new employee via Onboarding and sync with EC, the system does not create a new personnel number for the candidate.
The normally autogenerated Employee Id is now replaced with a long string.
Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.
Environment
- SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite
- SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
Reproducing the Issue
- Map Onboarding field for Pending Recruit
- Proceed to hire a given user in Pending Recruit.
- In the Person ID field appears a long string but not your usual Person ID.
Cause
A field has been has been mapped to Person ID.
For the current Use Case, above, you can see how the data was mapped resulting in incorrect Person Id.
Resolution
Nothing should be mapped to the Person ID.
