3294721 - Hyphens (-) in custom Recruiting Field IDs can break Suite Integration - Recruiting Management

• Recruiting Data is not flowed to Manage Pending Hires or Onboarding if there is a hyphen (-) in the mapped Recruiting Field ID.
• Hyphens (-) in Recruiting Field IDs are all replaced with an underscore (_) in Recruit-to-Hire Data Mapping tool.

• SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management
• SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding
• SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite

Hyphens (-) break OData naming convention. 

The system by default converts all hyphens (-) in OData property names to an underscore (_) and this can cause Field ID mismatching.

Please do not use hyphens (-) when naming a custom Field ID, use underscores instead.
**This applies only to custom fields. You do not need to modify standard Field IDs.

To resolve the issue:

1. Please rename the Field ID in the Recruiting template.
2. After updating the template, please refresh the metadata manually via Admin Center > OData API Metadata Refresh and Export.

Note:

• Please evaluate the impact before rolling out the change; renaming property name is a backward incompatible change.
• After renaming the Field ID, it will become a blank new field. If data exists in the old field and you wish to refer the data, you can create a new field rather than renaming the Field ID in the existing field definition.
