Resolution

  • This is a defect if the scenario is similar to below:
    • A Job Info record is inserted(back dated) where the pay scale group and pay scale level values are changed.
    • Due to which the forward propagation updates the closest future record with the new pay scale group (because the field has the same value as in the newly inserted record), but does not change the pay scale level (as this field has a different value in the future record compared to the value in the newly inserted record). 
    • The system detects this inconsistent data created by forward propagation, and raises a validation error message.
    • Solution: Product Engineering is investigating a solution which is tentatively planned for 2H 2024 release. Click on the star to bookmark this article to receive updates about this issue.

    • Workaround: In order to mitigate the issue until the fix, please raise a case under the component LOD-SF-EC-JOB. (@Support Team: Refer Internal Memo)

  • This is not a defect and its an expected validation error if:
    • There are business rule(s) configured in Job Information that sets a Pay scale level that doesn't match the current Pay scale group(or any Pay scale related fields) OR
    • There is an already existing job information record with inconsistent pay scale group and pay scale value, which is now validated on save, and raises the validation error.
    • Solution: Correct the configuration or the inconsistent job information data that is causing the validation error.
