3345348 - Unable to Post Job Requisitions "Provide a value for the Job Description field in [Language] on the job requisition to publish it in the [Language] locale." - Recruiting

Symptom

Unable to post job requisitions to the career site. When trying to post it, the system prompts an error message:

  • Provide a value for the External Job Description field in [Language] to post the job requisition in the [Language] locale.
  • Provide a value for the Internal Job Description field in [Language] to post the job requisition in the [Language] locale.

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management
  • SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Marketing

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Attempt to post a job requisition.
  2. An error occurs "Provide a value for the Job Description field in [Language] on the job requisition to publish it in the [Language] locale."

Cause

  • Without Job Profile: The field extListingLayout (External Job Description) or listingLayout (Internal Job Description), which is displayed in the Job Requisition Details page, is empty.
  • With Job Profile: The External Job Description field should have a value to be able to post the job requisition externally. Similarly, the Internal Job Description field should have a value to be able to post the job requisition internally.

Resolution

For the cause Without Job Profile, make sure that the fields extListingLayout and listingLayout are editable to the users and that they have write permission on these fields. If the field doesn't have any value, it's not going to be possible to post the job requisitions. To grant write permission to these fields you can follow the steps of the KBA: 2951367 - How to Add or Edit Permissions of Job Requisition Fields via Manage Templates - Recruiting Management.

For the cause With Job Profile, make sure that there is a job role and a job profile associated to the job requisition, or make sure that the field External Job Description/Internal Job Description that displays in the Job Profile tab is filled.
