2925737 - Comments Missing in the Form

Symptom

The Comments given in using Out of Turn Access (OOTA) are missing in the form after a Manager Transfer.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Performance Management

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Manager post comments on a form using OOTA. (Form is not yet in the Manager Step).
  2. Subject has a Manager transfer and the forms are transferred to the new Manager.
  3. Subject route the form to the Manager step.
  4. The comments provided by the previous manager using OOTA are missing in the form.

Cause

This is due to the comments being given using OOTA. With OOTA, you are creating a "draft" of the form with your edits. The form will not save your edits until it reaches your step. Once the form is routed forward to your step, the edits will save.

Resolution

The recommendation when using OOTA is to route the form to the manager step, and then transfer the documents, otherwise, the comments will be lost as this information is not saved nor is reportable.
