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 HCM Suite
- SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
- Personal Information
Resolution
There are two methods for removal:
- To remove this field option from the Personal Information portlet in Manage Business Configuration (BCUI):
- To remove this field option from the Personal Information portlet, add the following to the Succession Data Model:
<hris-field max-length="256" id="native-preferred-lang" visibility="none">
<label>Native Preferred Language</label>
<label xml:lang="en-US">Native Preferred Language</label>
<picklist id="language/>
</hris-field>
Note: If the field is needed in the future, as it has been added it to the Data Model in the step above, it can then be manually added to Manage Business Configuration > personalInfo. This will allow it to be made visible again at a later date.
