Symptom
You have defined on Configuration UI that Parent Position is a required field, however when creating or editing a position the system does not validate if thi field is filled or not.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite
Cause
Fields in the "composite" or "valid when" association on object definitions by default are not mandatory (this is for all MDF objects).
Resolution
To make the field really Mandatory you need to set the Association as Mandatory:
- Go on Configure Object Definitions (Position is used in my example)
- Go down the page on Association details
- Set it as Required = Yes.
- Save it.
