2705387 - MDF Succession: SOC and Position Tile View - Incumbent not showing even if defined in Manage Data

Symptom

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors Succession Management - MDF Positions

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Check the Position in Succession Org Chart/Position Tile View: No incumbents shows
  2. Check the Position in Manage Data > Position: Incumbent is defined.

Cause

Employee Central Position Management is enabled, but the "incumbent" field is still Editable in the Position object.

Resolution

If the instance has Employee Central Position Management, the Incumbent to Position Relationship is maintained through the Job Information section of Employee Central instead of Incumbent field in the Position Object/Edit Position in Succession Org Chart.

Incumbent field should be set to Not Visible in Configure Object Definition > Position Object to avoid confusion with users.
