Symptom
You are trying to add a manager for one employee but the managers is not appearing.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central (EC) - All Versions
Reproducing the Issue
- Select the employee you want to assign a manager;
- Go to employment information;
- Edit the employment information;
- Select the effective date;
- Look for the manager and see that is returning no data;
Cause
Manager is not hired at the date you are trying to ad him;
Resolution
The manager/supervisor field is validated via effective date, which means that the manage must exists on the system in the date you are trying to ad him.
EG: you are trying to add a record for one employee with start date on July 7, 2017 with a manager, but if you check this manager job information you can see that he was hired on October 13th, 2017.
With this, the record on July 7 will not be able to find any manager since on July 7 this manager was not hired yet.
Please make sure the effective date you are selecting for the employee is after the hire date of the manager.
