Details: The mapping field **** is entered in the rule to refer to a simple data type but the Job Requisition has no field with this name that refers to a simple data type."

A couple of causes could result in this error message:

• Field not present on the OData API Data Dictionary
• Mapping incorrect when using picklist
• Mapping the values into an Object

For each of the scenarios above we have a slightly different way to resolve:

Field not present on the OData API Data Dictionary:

1. Access OData API Data Dictionary, inside the Job Requisition entity
2. Check if the field is there
3. In case the field is not, access OData API Metadata Refresh and execute a Refresh.

Mapping incorrect when using picklist fields:

1. Access Position Management Settings, and access your mapping rule
2. Go to the field that is displayed on the error
3. Check if the mapping of that picklist field has the ".id" or ".externalCode" at the Requisition field. Since this is a picklist, it is a complex type, and you should assign the value directly to the identifier of the picklist:
   
   or
   
   
   

Mapping field values into an Object:
