When creating a job requisition from Position Org Chart, the following error is displayed:"Sorry, the requisition cannot be created. Creation of a job requisition for position ****** failed. 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."

SAP Success Factors Recruiting Management

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:
