Response

NOTE: Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite

Cause

"okToRehire" is a field that's associated to an employee's termination, therefore it is available as read-only in the EmpEmployment entity and cannot be upserted.

Resolution

If you wish to change this field (and other information related to termination), you must perform an upsert to the EmpEmploymentTermination entity.

Please refer to this page from the Employee Central OData API Reference Guide: EmpEmploymentTermination
