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

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a rule that hides fields in Compensation Information
  2. Set as a Trigger rule under compInfo in Manage Business Configuration
  3. New Hire Wizard - Fill all information until you get to Compensation Information section
  4. Add a Pay Component and set the amount -> Previously hidden fields become visible again

Cause

This is a bug in the system, the OnInit rule stops working as expected

Example:

Upon loading the Compensation Information screen in the New Hire Wizard, custom fields are hidden by a business rule as expected
