Symptom
Vendor is a required field/association in Object Work Order.
An error occurs when changing the attribute of the "vendor" field as (Required = No) in the Work Order Object
Error: You are not allowed to change the value of attribute Required for the field vendor of this object.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central: Contingent Workforce Management
Reproducing the Issue
- Navigate to > Work Order object definition
- Click on the details of the field "vendor"
- Change the attribute > Required = No
- Save > Error occurs
- Error: You are not allowed to change the value of attribute Required for the field vendor of this object.
Cause
This is by design. The field "vendor" is a mandatory field by default in the Work Order object and it cannot be set to Required=No, Visibility=Not Visible/Read Only even with a business rule.
