Symptom
- Defaulting Company/Legal Entity Field at the Start of the Add New Employee Wizard
- Is it possible to default the company field at the start of the add new employee wizard?
- Can we use an onInit rule to default the company field in add new employee wizard?
Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental
Environment
- Employee Central – Hire/Rehire
- Employee Central – Business Rules
Reproducing the Issue
1. Create a rule similar to this
2. Set the trigger as onInit in Manage Business Configuration > JobInfo Element
3.Check the add new employee wizard > Value not defaulted
Resolution
This is not possible because this field is not a data model field, but a hard-coded field that is only found in the hire wizards
The rule will not trigger because the field is not part of the job information element, which is where you add the trigger for the rule
