3114610 - Updated By Incorrectly Displayed After Workflow Triggered For Position When You Proxy As Approver

Symptom

When you trigger a workflow for a position and then proxy as the approvers and approve the workflow once the workflow is fully approved the Updated By on the bottom of the screen will display the Employee ID you proxied with twice.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Trigger a workflow for a Position
  2. Proxy as the approver and approve
  3. In position, it's mentioned as “Updated by sfadmin on behalf of sfadmin on Tuesday”

Cause

This is an expected behaviour.

Resolution

  • 'Updated by' shows as initiator on Manage Data, if approver click approve button directly without inflight change.
  • For proxy scenario, it shows proxy user on behalf of initiator.
