3315103 - Order of new field created for Generic Object ( Legal Entity ) in Manage Data changes when in Edit ( Make Correction ) mode

Symptom

In Manage Data, the order of a new field created for an object (example )Legal Entity that is tied to an association is different in View/Read mode and in Edit ( Make Correction ) Mode

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Foundation Objects

Reproducing the Issue

1. Go to Configure Object Definition 

2. Select Object ( Ex. Legal Entity ) 

3. Take Action >  Make Correction 

4. Add new field (ex: cust_addtestfield)

5. Save

6. Observe that there's a list of Associations

7. Go to Manage Data 

8.  Search Object ( Ex. Legal Entity ) 

9. Notice the order of the new field (addtestfield) - View Mode

10.  Select Take Action > Make Correction and noticed that the order of the new field (addtestfield), shows in the USA Association Section

11. Search another Legal Entity, that's not on the list of Association from the Configure Object Definition ( Legal Entity) Example : Australia.

      When go to Take Action> Make Correction, the new field ( Ex. addtestfield ) is in same order, no change

Cause

The order of the field changes because the countryOfRegistration field control the visibility of the CSF association.

Resolution

This is Expected Behavior.

If the field needs to appear in a more consistent manner, it has to be placed before the countryOfRegistration field via Configuration Object Definitions. This can be done by changing the field orders.
