3113484 - Position pending approval is changed with Mass Position functionality - SAP Employee Central

If there is a pending workflow for a position is expected system does not allow you to make any change while pending approval exist, this means that there needs to have some action on workflow before you be able to add any other data in the position. However is noted that this behavior is ignored when changes are triggered by Metadata Mass Change functionality for position. 

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

This is a system limitation and current expected behavior, system does not validate if there is pending workflows while performing mass change by metadata mass change tool.

Engineering team have plans to enhance this functionality in the future as now we have the new mass management tool to perform mass position changes. However please consider open a new enhancement request to highlight this interest to our Product Management team:
