3339762 - Vendor is a required field/association in Object Work Order

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

  1. Navigate to > Work Order object definition
  2. Click on the details of the field "vendor"
  3. Change the attribute > Required = No
  4. Save > Error occurs
  5. 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.
