2545339 - Employee Status Not Syncing with Custom Field in case of Return from Leave of Absence

Symptom

 You have created a custom field in the instance to map the Employee Status in Employee Central to Employee Profile (KBA 2370648) but the field does not synchronize when an Employee returns from Leave of Absence.

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors HCM Core
  • Employee Central

Reproducing the Issue

  1.  You have a custom field in your instance to map the Employee status in EC to EP.
  2.  When you create a Leave of Absence via : Take Action -> Manage Absence, the custom status would not sync with the EC status as highlighted in the screenshot below :

Cause

 This happens because the OnSave business rule that was created to keep these statuses in sync is not supported with the Legacy Leave of Absence feature.

Resolution

  • This is an Expected behaviour.
  • The Legacy Leave of Absence feature does not support triggering Business Rules.
  • As a workaround, switch to the Time-Off version for the Leave of Absence.
