Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
Reproducing the Issue
- Import Employee Data
- Job History import -> Mode of import: Full Purge -> Click on Validate or Import
- System generates error
Cause
Position and Regular/Temp fields are set to mandatory under Job Info parent configuration.
Resolution
Imports respect parent configuration from JobInfo not JobInfo_Contingent under Manage Business Configurations. You will either have to configure these fields in JobInfo_Contingent or set these fields to non-mandatory for JobInfo.
If you still require these fields to be set as mandatory for JobInfo then you will have to do it via Manage Business Rules.
