2789078 - Succession Management - Not able to find Import / Export Positions options in Admin Center

Symptom

  • Not able to find the options to Import / Export Positions in Admin Center.
  • Not able to grant permissions for Position Import & Export in Admin Center.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Succession Management - MDF Positions

Reproducing the Issue

  • Go to Admin Center > Succession > the options "Position Management: Import Positions" and "Position Management: Export Positions".
  • Go to Admin Center > Manage Permission Roles > select role > click "Permission..." > in the "Manage Succession" section, the permission "Position Import & Export" is not available.  

Cause

These Position Import options should only be available for Legacy Positions nomination method and, with b1905 (Q2 2019) release, a usability enhancement was implemented to hide these options if the instance is configured with MDF Positions.

Resolution

If the instance is configured with Legacy Positions and these options are not available, check if all the required settings have been enabled in provisioning: Succession Implementation Guide - Provisioning Settings for Legacy Position Nominations.

If the instance is configured with MDF Positions, you should use the MDF tools to manage position data. To import / export positions, you should use the Admin Center > Import and Export Data tool. For more information, refer to the Succession Implementation Guide - Importing Position Data for the MDF Position-Based Nomination Method.
