Symptom
The Offer Approval template's standalone fields, but need to use other custom fields in the offer approval template. How can we achieve that?
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management
Resolution
Since there is a limit of how many standalone fields can be used in the offer approval template, another way to use other fields would be by adding fields from the job requisition or the job application templates. The way the fields work in the system are explained in this page of SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Implementation Guide: Job Offer Detail Field Definition: Attributes, it also contains an example of how a field is configured in the XML template when there is a field that is pulling data from the job requisition or job application template.
Once these fields from the job application or job requisition templates are configured in the template, they will pull the data from these sources. If you want to allow the recruiting users to edit these fields, as explained in the KBA 2411448 - Permission to Edit Offer Approval fields - Recruiting Management, they need to be made reportable.
