SAP SuccessFactors Succession Planning

The Succession OData API entities enable customers to build custom extensions on standard SAP SuccessFactors application Succession Planning. The most common need for customers is the ability to create alternate visualizations on top of the succession data. To allow customers to do that, we have exposed the following data in Succession Planning:

• Successor Data
• Incumbent Data
• Position Data
• Talent Flag information
• Icon/gradient configuration from the XML
• Trend data

You can access successors in both MDF Position and legacy Position only when you have succession planning permission for those positions. You can also access all members and individual nomination details in a talent pool if you have the permission.

The current list of supported OData v2 entities which relate to Succession Planning are;

• LegacyPositionEntity
• Nominee History
• NominationTarget
• Successor
• TalentGraphicsOption
• TalentPool

Some entities may not be supported for use based on the system configuration, for example LegacyPositionEntity is only supported for use with systems that have the Legacy Position nomination method.

You can use the OData v2 API function import to approve or reject nominees that are in a pending status. The pending status consists of Change Pending, Deletion Pending, and Pending.

• approveSuccessors
