Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Manage Business Configuration
Reproducing the Issue
1. Go to Manage Business Configuration.
2. Make any changes and click on 'Save'.
3. The Application Error is being received.
Cause
The Succession Data Model was not synced to MDF hence the MDF Objects were missing which was causing Application Error in Manage Business Configuration.
Resolution
- The "Synchronize Business Configuration" job needs to be triggered:
- From the 1H 2023 Release this can be triggered via Scheduled Job Manager in the Admin Center.
For the details on how to do this please see the following links:

- Alternatively this can be done from Provisioning -> Go to Manage Scheduled Jobs and look for the "Synchronize Business Configuration" Job, then under Actions tab, click the Select drop-down and choose 'Run It Now'. - Run the job "MDF Object Definition to DB Sync"(Refer KBA 2534674 - How To Fix Inconsistencies In Metadata Framework (MDF)).
