3156771 - Error when defining Offer Approval Standard Fields - Recruiting Management

Symptom

When uploading Offer Detail Template in Provisioning, you receive an error like this:

Error: Standard field "customPicklist11" cannot have custom="true"

"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 Recruiting

Cause

There is an allowance for the number of Standalone Offer Fields you can configure in your Offer Detail Template and if you go above this number the system will throw an error as shown in the screenshot above.

Example of a picklist field the system would throw an error for.

  • <field-definition id="customPicklist11" type="picklist" required="true" custom="true" anonymize="false">

Resolution

You need access to Provisioning to work with XML templates.

As a customer, you don't have access to Provisioning. To complete tasks in Provisioning, contact your implementation partner. If you're no longer working with an implementation partner, contact Product Support.

Do not exceed the allowed number of Standalone Offer Fields you can configure in your Offer Detail Template.
