2821839 - Employee Is Terminated but Their User Is Still Valid in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

A worker is terminated in the system, however the business user associated with this worker is still valid.

This behavior occurs, for example, when a terminated employee is replicated from SAP SuccessFactors.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Cause

The current design of the system allows users to remain active, even if their respective worker has been terminated.

This behavior is intended to allow the business users to still perform closing activities, even if their worker has already been terminated in the HR system.

Resolution

This is the expected behavior of the system. The user must be delimited directly after the worker is terminated.

To limit the validity of a user and to change the date of "Valid to" field:

  • Set the lock indicator for the user with the SAP Fiori app "Maintain Business Users".
  • Delete the user in Fiori App "Maintain Business Users".
  • Change the validity of the user manually.
  • Remove all roles from the user via SAP IPS.
  • Change the value of this field via the integration scenario SAP_COM_0093 from an external corporate IDP.

Select one of the above options to adjust the user validity and ensure the user is no longer active.
