3239635 - "Please set one record as primary record for Email Information" - Employee Central

Symptom

When adding a new employee the message "Please set one record as primary record for Email Information" appears, even without a rule triggering it:

"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 HXM Suite
  • SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Add New Employee;
  2. Fill in the employee data and set no email as primary;
  3. Submit;
  4. Error will pop up.

Cause

The error message is related to a hard-coded validation triggered for email information, that requires at least one Email set as "Yes" or the "Is Primary" field. You can set either email type Personal/Business as primary, but at least one have to be the primary one.

Resolution

Set one email as primary.
