SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Employee Import

1. Import termination details for a manager, make sure a workflow gets triggered
2. Approver checks the worklfow, notice that the Transfer Direct Reports option does not appear
3. Approve the request, direct reports are not moved

This is working as designed. You may create an enhancement idea by following the steps explained in the following article: 2090228 - How to submit enhancement ideas for SAP SuccessFactors Products. 

As a workaround, you may set the following configurations in Position Management Settings:

1. Under Hierarchy Adaptation, Leading Hierarchy should be Position Hierarchy

2. Set Reassign Direct Reports According to Position Hierarchy on Termination Screen and Internal Hire Screen to Yes - Always

3. Set Use Automated Hierarchy Adaptation to Yes

Alternatively, if the above configurations are not set, additional steps may be performed when the approver opens the workflow request:

1. 1. Click on Update to see the Transfer Direct Reports section
   2. Select appropriate action from the available lists regarding transfer to a new manager
   3. Update and approve the workflow
