2555362 - Field Display Order for Custom Fields on Employee Time Object

Symptom

  • Can the field order on Employee Time Object / Time Off UI be modified?
  • Does the Employee time object Respect the order in which fields are created?

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 Employee Central
  • SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite

Reproducing the Issue

Two custom fields are configured on the Employee Time object, and were placed as the third and fourth field respectively. However, the fields are displayed at the bottom of the screen when requesting leave, as shown below:

Cause

  • This is expected behavior if the field is a conditional field i.e the custom fields are configured to display based on certain conditions.
  • For non-conditional custom fields, the order specified in the Employee Time object is respected.
