3249113 - Position information not synchronised via onChange rule when using the import action

In case of position changes other fields related to the position is not updated/synchronized when done via import where onChange rule is used for same 

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central : Job History Import

• Go to Import Employee Data
• Import Job History for sample employee, with position change as incremental load
• In Job History, only position change is showing
• In rule trace, onChange rule is triggering and setting values for affected fields

This is expected behavior as the fields to be changed by rules are not present in the import template; in case of onChange rule

Refer point: 'onChange rules with Centralized Services: Updating value of a field not present in the import template'

If you want to set rule results on the fields which are not present in the import template, either:

• Enable the permission Manage Permission roles -> Select one of the permission role of user who is doing import/API action -> Employee Central Import Settings -> Enable execution of rules against NO_OVERWRITE (ALL)/ Enable execution of rules against NO_OVERWRITE (Job Information)

Or

• Change the rule onChange as onSave 

Both the options will work for both import and API actions.
