2869483 - Can you disable the Global Assignment Feature?

Symptom

Can you disable the Global Assignment feature after it has been configured in an instance?

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Global Assignment

Resolution

  • This Feature can be disabled via Manage Employee Central Settings.
  • Please Note: If user data has been created for Global Assignments, all Global Assignments must be terminated with a Past Effective Date and any pending workflows for users on Global Assignment must be completed or withdrawn.
  • If there is any data remaining in the system with regard to active Global Assignment users this will cause error and unexcepted behaviour across the system.
    For this reason we recommend NOT to disable the Feature but instead remove permissions for the feature for all end users and keep Global Assignment Enabled but no longer actively used,  to cause the least amount of possible impact on the system.
    For information on the permissions for this feature please review the following handbook:
    Implementing and Managing the Employment Lifecycle (from Hiring to Termination) - Permissions for Global Assignments
