Symptom
When trying trying to update user records following error appears:
"You cannot create a job information record without the hire record for user. The first job information record must be the hire record. "
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
Cause
- There is no "Hire" event reason defined in job information which is not correct, the warning is due centralized services for Job Information which validates inconsistencies.
More information can be found on following guide: Data Validation for Job Information (MSS and History UI)
Resolution
- In case during migration to SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central from other system, as a workaround the first record's event was used as Data Change or Rehire, then this needs to be corrected using full purge job info import. For guidance see Knowledge Base Article: 3446818 - and for more information about the validations see 3103944
