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 - Manage Business Configuration (BCUI)

Reproducing the Issue

Modify any configuration in Admin Center > Manage Business Configuration > save > error pops up.

Cause

The base object of the rule mentioned during assigning in BCUI is not same as base object of the rule:


Example rule created with base object 'job information model':

Base object of the rule modified to employee information which is not as per rule base object:

Resolution

To solve this, we need to look all the way to the right under "Rules" in BCUI > jobInfo. Next to that is a small box (quick card) "View Rule". Click on that box. This will open the rule. When the rule is open, look under Parameters. Make sure it also shows Job Information, which is in sync with its base object on the manage business configuration. If it shows something different, like Employment Information, then it issue persists.
