2765812 - System saves the record but raises "No Permission for Position" error

Symptom

System raises an error "No Permission for Position" but saves the future change made.

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors HCM Cloud
  • Employee Central
  • Position Management

Reproducing the Issue

1. Navigate to position org chart.

2. Go to a position and click Edit.

4. Make a future change and save the transaction.

5. System throws an error: "No Permission for Position"

6. Check the position and the future-dated change was saved.

Cause

  • User has RBP to View only current record (no history)
  • Also user has RBP to create position
  • User is now creating a new record starting in future on existing position in Position Org Chart with MDF Quickcard
  • The create will succeed as user has create rbp
  • Afterwards the mdf quickcard tires to render again in read mode to show the created record
  • As user has no rbp to view history reocrds, the error "NO Permission" is shown 

Resolution

It is an expected system behavior. When trying to save for a the future time slice, No permission error is thrown since user doesn't have view history permission.

There is already an existing enhancement for this feature: XAF-24719, to support the scenario that a user should be able to create a position only if he/she has the permissions to view history - this will hold good for effective-dated MDF objects.

There is no planned date of implementation yet.
