2802295 - System allow's copy position with inactive values - Employee Central

Symptom

After the inactivation of a Department (for example) that is being used on a Position, the Position object record does not update removing the Department inactivated. Now when this position is copied the same value is on the copied position.

"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
  • Position Management

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Manage Data
  2. Inactivate a Department (for example):
    InactiveDept.png
  3. Look at the Position using this Department:
    Position1.png
  4. Go to Position Org Chart and copy this position. The copied Position result's:
    CopiedPosition1.png 

Resolution

This is expected behavior, because you are copying an existing record which contains the Inactive Department and system will not perform such validations.
