2670682 - Workflow Data Validation for a Required Field

• Why does the system allow step approvers (but not the final approver) to approve a workflow when there is a missing value for a required field?
• When does the system validate missing data for required fields when there is workflow with multiple step approvers?

• SAP SuccessFactors HCM Cloud
• Employee Central

1. Create a required field
2. Make a data change, leaving the required field empty, that will trigger a workflow with multiple step approvers

Result:

• Each Step approver, with the expection of the final step approver can approve the workflow, even though the required field does not have a value present

• This is expected system behavior

• The System will only validate the values when the system attempts to write the data to the database
• This means that the system will only validate the fields data on the last approver step
• If there is only one step approver, the data will validate on that step approvers action
• During other approver steps, the values in each field are considered transient data, as they have not been written to the database yet
