3355773 - Multiple "is not equal to" rule is not working for lookup function

Symptom

Lookup function is used to look up values from a Metadata Framework object that serves as a lookup table.

However, multiple "is not equal to" rule is not working for lookup function.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

SAP SuccessFactors MetaData Framework

Cause

This is a current restriction in lookup function.

Resolution

In the lookup function, you can't define a restriction for the same field with the same operator in the Where condition.

For example:
  • Username is not equal to “Name1”

  • Username is not equal to “Name2”

In such cases, only the first restriction is taken into account, the subsequent restrictions are ignored.
