Symptom
When adding a record to the Job Information of an employee's Home Assignment while they are on Global Assignment, their Home Assignment employee status changes from 'Dormant' to 'Active'.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Global Assignment
Reproducing the Issue
- Add a new record to the Job Information portlet of an employee's Home Assignment profile
- See the 'employee status' field changes from 'Dormant' to 'Active'
Cause
This is expected behaviour as of the current product.
When the employee is placed on Global Assignment, their Home Assignment profile is set to 'dormant'. However, when you add new records to that profile, the system sets the profile back to 'active'.
Resolution
There is currently no way to change the Home Assignment employee status back to 'dormant' or undo the status change once it has occurred.
It is therefore recommended to not make adjustments to an employee's Home Assignment profile while they are on Global Assignment. If changes need to be made to an employee's Home Assignment while they are on Global Assignment, it is recommended to wait until they are back on their Home Assignment and then make the changes as needed.
