Environment
- SAP SuccessFactors Calibration
- SAP SuccessFactors Succession Management
Reproducing the Issue
- Admin Center
- Calibration
- Manage Calibration Templates
- Select the template
- Data Tab
- Add Performance & Form Template
Cause
There are number of reasons for this error.
- Incorrect scale-id and type-id associated to the trend element in the Data Model XML of the rating that gets the error.
- Rating is not defined in the Matrix Grid settings X and Y axis
- Trend Element not defined in the data model XML
- Custom rating scales hardcoded into the Obj-Comp or Perf-Pot summary section, which have been deleted or renamed in Admin Center => Rating Scales; not supported to hard-code rating scales into these sections, only matrix-grid-scales are supported - see also 2545446
Resolution
1. Please see if scale-id or type-id is properly configured in the data model XML (Only partners and Support have access to the XML template)
Background Element ID | Correct Scale ID | Correct Type ID |
sysOverallPerformance | Performance | 31 |
sysOverallPotential | Potential | 32 |
sysOverallObjective | Objective | 33 |
sysOverallCompetency | Compentency | 34 |
sysOverallCustom1 | Custom1 | 35 |
sysOverallCustom2 | Custom2 | 36 |
2. Make sure that if the error is with Overall Potential, Overall Performance, Overall Objective or Overall Competency, rating should at least be defined in the Matrix Grid Report Settings in Admin Center > Succession
3. Define trend element in the Data model XML (Only partners and Support have access to the XML template)
- background-element id="sysOverallPerformance"
- background-element id="sysOverallPotential"
- background-element id="sysOverallObjective"
- background-element id="sysOverallCompetency"
4. If you have a hard-coded rating custom rating scales in these sections instead of matrix-grid-rating-scales, we advise to relaunch after correcting the PM forms. You can try instead to re-create the custom rating scales again in Admin Center => Rating Scales as workaround, however, this is not really supported. See as well 2545446
