3099199 - Error: Code is/are invalid values of Field ID. Enter valid external code - Recruiting Management

Symptom

When creating a job requisition from Position Org Chart, getting an error: "CODE is/are invalid values of department_obj. Enter valid external code"

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management
  • SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
  • SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite

Cause

The permission granted to MDF Object Department to the user replicating the issue is limiting the visibility to only certain departments, instead of all of them.

Resolution

When creating a Job Requisition from Position, the users must at least be able to read on the fields that the rule is mapping over to the Job Requisition, otherwise the error will display, since the field is not pulling the data over.

Providing RBP read permissions to the user is necessary as the user creating the requisition will need to have both "View Current" and "View History" permissions to any object field being updated by the position mapping rule.
