2545059 - Field XXXXX is not defined [INVALID_FIELD_NAME] error - SuccessFactors

You are calling SuccessFactors using SFAPI or Compound Employee (CE) API, but you are facing an error such as the below:

"Exception=[SFAPI Domain Error!] Error Code=[INVALID_FIELD_NAME] Error Message=[Field XXXXX is not defined]"

SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite

1. Run the process/API call;
2. Observe the error mentioned in the API logs;

In SF, go to SFAPI Data Dictionary and search for the entity being called and the field mentioned in the error message;

If you cannot find the entity or field name, this is the root cause of the issue.

NOTE: If you don't know which entity is involved, check the API request header in client side (e.g. Postman, Boomi, CPI, third-party system) or in SF API payloads (under SFAPI Audit Logs).

There are two possible solutions:

• Review the API request to make it according the available entities and fields from SFAPI Data Dictionary;
• Under Manage Business Configuration, create (if it doesn't exist) and set the field mentioned in the error message to Enabled=Yes;

• Compound Employee guide
