3318792 - 1H 2023: Use the least restrictive configurations in OData APIs when Country/Region-Specific Field Attributes are different

Symptom

With the 1H 2023 release, we are announcing to use the least restrictive configurations when Country/Region-Specific Field Attributes of OData APIs EmpJob, EmpEmployment, and EmpCompensation are different.

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 HXM Suite

  • EmpJob/ EmpEmployment/ EmpCompensation Odata API entity

Cause

Product enhancement

Resolution

In the metadata of OData APIs EmpJob, EmpEmployment, and EmpCompensation, we now use the least restrictive configurations from the Country/Region-Specific Succession Data Model for attributes required and visibility of HRIS elements jobInfo, employmentInfo, and compInfo.

Prerequisites:
The attributes are not configured in the Succession Data Model.(Base Data Model)
The attributes are configured in the Country/Region-Specific Succession Data Model.
The configurations of the attributes are not the same for all countries/regions.

•If the configuration for any country/region is required=false, the APIs use this configuration in Odata API metadata (sap:required="false").
•If the configuration for any country/region is visibility=both, the APIs use this configuration in Odata API metadata. (sap:upsertable="true" sap:visible="true" )
•If the configuration for any country/region is visibility=view, the APIs use this configuration in Odata API metadata. (sap:upsertable="false" sap:visible="true" )
•If the configuration for all country/region is visibility=none in Country/Region-Specific Succession Data Model, means the filed is disabled, and the field is not displayed in Odata API metadata.
