- This is when you use "&&NO_OVERWRITE&&" as a value for Start date / Hire date
Environment

- SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
- Import Employee Data
Reproducing the Issue
If you already have the template populated to be imported:
- Go to Import Employee Data page
- Select e.g. Employment Details option
- Upload
Cause
- start-date or hire-date is a business key field.
- A valid value is required to be provided by the import user and NO_OVERWRITE should not be provided.
Resolution
Don't use the tag &&NO_OVERWRITE&& for business key fields like hire-date.
