2588305 - Account Type Used as Country Specific Field for Peru - EC

Symptom

How to make the 'Account Type' field a country specific field within a Custom UI  in SuccessFactors Employee Central?

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
  • Payment Information

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Import Payment Information UI as per KB article 2786878 - Unable to Import Payment Information Rules from Success Store 
  2. Navigate to 'Manage Configuration UI' (You can see the imported configuration UI, and you can use this as a basis for creating your own configuration UI)

Result:

There is no country Specific 'Account Type' field for Peru.

Cause

'Account Type' is only required, and a standard delivered field for the following Countries:

  • Argentina
  • Columbia
  • Ecuador
  • Japan
  • Kenya
  • Nigeria
  • South Africa
  • United States
  • Venezuela

 These are the only countries that require the Account type for Bank Validation.

Resolution

  1.  In Manage Configuration UI > Create a custom Field
  2. Give the custom field a Label (my example 'Account Type (Peru)'

  2. Navigate to Configure Object Definition > Select 'Object Definition' in first drop down menu > Select 'Payment Information Detail PER' in the second drop down menu
  3. Click on 'Details' for 'accountType'
