Symptom
Attachment field in the Termination Portlet is automatically populated with the Attachment from the Job Information
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 Employee Central
Reproducing the Issue
1. Employee has attachment in the Job Information
2. Terminate this Employee
3. In the Termination Portlet, do not attach a file
4. Save the Termination.
5. After workflow is completed. Attachment from Job info is populated in the attachment from Termination Details
Cause
This is an expected behavior when the attachments field is not configured for Job Information or the logged-in user does not have permission to view or edit that field, but the workflow initiator added the attachments to Job Information, then system loads the attachment into the Employment Information attachments field in the Termination UI.
Resolution
Attachment field in the termination portlet is derived from the attachment field in the job info when the attachment is recently added to Job Information.
This behavior is further explained in the Implementation Guide: Terminating an Employment
