Environment
SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Import Employee Data
- Select Import Data
- In "select an entity" choose "Basic Import"
- Browse the correct file
- Import
Error: You have reached your maximum number of users Please contact SuccessFactors Sales if you need to purchase additional liIn provisioning, Company Edition is set to "Enterprise Edition".
Internal log:
Failed to add/update user [XXX] "XXX" (N/A;N/A;N/A): User License Limit is exceeded.
Cause
Configuration issue
- If Company Edition is set to "Enterprise Edition", it means SAP does not limit the number of users in the system.
- In Provisioning, option "Enforce license maximum and display alert" is selected for “User License Enforcement Options”. When the number of active users reaches a threshold number, the error message is displayed.
Resolution
- Go to provisioning
- Go to Company Settings
- Section "User License Enforcement Options", change to "No maximum user alert and no enforce ".
Customer Action:
- As a customer, you don't have access to Provisioning. To complete tasks in Provisioning, contact your implementation partner. If you're no longer working with an implementation partner, contact SAP Cloud Support.
- Customer must provide written approval for above task (Section "User License Enforcement Options", change to "No maximum user alert and no enforce ")
