Symptom
When running an Integration center job to import data into SuccessFactors and checking the Event logs the following error appears:
Your_Entity: POST failed for the row with key: . Reason: COE0018-This external code [AAABBB] already exists. Try another.. The row will not be processed for subsequent entities
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 HCM Suite
- Integration Center
Reproducing the Issue
- Run your Integration center inbound job
- Observe the error inside your Event logs
Cause
In the "Configure Fields" tab, the Operation "Create/Post" is selected:
Resolution
For the inbound Integration center scenarios, we can suggest to make use of Upsert operations where new data can be created and old data can be updated if existing.
Try changing to operation = Upsert Multiple or Upsert Single. The mentioned issue of the title should be resolved.
