2505526 - HRIS Sync - How does HRIS Sync translate Employment Status in EC to STATUS in EP

How does HRIS Sync translate Employment Status in EC to STATUS in EP?

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

• SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite
• SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central 

• Employment Status needs to be defined as a picklist. It is recommended to use the default pick list "employee-status" and not use a custom one. You define the picklist for HRIS field “emplStatus” in the Foundation Object “eventReason” configuration, in the Corporate Data Model.
• The field “Employee Status” is defined in Corporate Data Model (CDM) with id “emplStatus”. The translations are to be added in this data model.

The external code of Employment Status is important for deciding the Employment Status. Here's a table, showing the mappings between the employee-status picklist external_code and Employment Status:

Employee Central employee-status		standard-element "status"	EC Feature
External Code	Employment Status in EC	STATUS in Basic User Data	Which EC Feature does the item relate to?
A	Active	active	Core
D	Dormant	active	Global Assignments
U	Unpaid Leave	active	Time Off (and Legacy LOA feature for v12 UI)
P	Paid Leave	active	Time Off (and Legacy LOA feature for v12 UI)
S	Suspended	active	Core
F	Furlough	inactive	Core
O	Discarded	inactive	Global Assignments
R	Retired	inactive	Core
T	Terminated	inactive	Core

CUSTOMISATION NOTE:

1. You must always use the pre-delivered values for employee-status picklist
2. You can change the label of the employee-status picklist values
3. If you created a custom Employee Status value in the "employee-status" picklist, ensure that it has a unique external_code value (do not use one from the above list). Any custom "employee-status" that is added other than the above will be regarded as "inactive" in the Basic User Data
   PS: The "status" field in EP will show only 'active' or 'inactive' even if employee-status picklist is assigned to EP status field (which is not recommended).
