2623342 - How the Requisition ID is generated while creating the Job - Recruiting Management

Symptom

While creating the requisition, the Requisition ID is automatically generated, and sometimes it will increment by 1 (like 421,422,..) and sometimes the next requisition ID generated will be increment by 20 (421,441,..)

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Recruiting → Job Requisitions
  2. Create New Job Requisition
  3. After the Job Req has been created, you check the Job Req ID and notice a logical numeric sequence is not always observed e.g. the Job Req created before had ID 421 but this job req you just created afterwards has ID 432

Resolution

This is expected behaviour as per system design.

The sequence we have in creating the Job Requisition ID is generated by an algorithm that depends also on how fast the user create requisitions.
The main goal of this ID generator is to avoid duplicate IDs in case several users at the same time are creating Job Requisitions.
