3251892 - Error 'Cannot find corresponding Picklist value by key' when importing MDF object picklist

Symptom

While trying to import data for MDF Objects/Picklist, the below error is being triggered:

Cannot find corresponding Picklist value by key

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite
  • SAP SuccessFactors Metadata Framework (MDF)

Cause

Invalid picklist values are being used.

Resolution

  • Incorrect values such as 1,2,3,4,5,6 are being used when the correct values are actually 01,02,03,04,05,06
  • This could be caused by tools such as Excel which automatically omit the leading zero,
  • Therefore, the external code should either be updated, or it should be ensured that the correct code will be used without any zeroes being omitted. For example, using a text editor instead of Excel.
