Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
Reproducing the Issue
-
Navigate to Manage and a selected Position
- Insert a New Record prior to an existing record
- Set the Position to Inactive
- Save
- The error does not have the prefix - "Changes were propagated forward to future records with errors. Please follow the error details and correct the entry."
Cause
This error prefix will only occur or records inserted on a date prior to the date of he first incumbent is assigned to a position.
Resolution
The error prefix will be displayed when creating a record on a date prior to the date of the first incumbent is assigned to a position.
-
For example the position X has two existing records:
-
01/01/2022
- 01/01/1900
- The first incumbent is assigned to the position on 01/01/2018 which is in-between the two existing records.
- If we insert a new record to set the position to Inactive with effective date between 01/01/2018 and 01/01/2022, the error prefix will not be displayed as these dates are on or after the position has an incumbent
- If we insert a new record to set the position to Inactive with effective date between 01/01/1900 and 01/01/2018 the error prefix will be displayed.
