Symptom
Job requisitions can be approved even if the job description is missing in the Job Profile tab.
Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management
Reproducing the Issue
- Create a job requisition without selecting a job role.
- Approve the job requisition.
- Notice that no mandatory field validation appears despite that the job description on the Job Profile page is blank.
Cause
- None of the job description fields (Internal Job Description, External Job Description and Competency) are defined as required fields in the job requisition template.
- The approver does not have the write permission to edit the job description field that is defined as required.
Resolution
- Define the job description field that needs to be validated as required="true" in the job requisition template.
- Grant the write permission to allow the approver to edit the job description field in pre-approved status.
Field ID's of the job description fields are listed below:
- "listingLayout" - Internal Job Description
- "extListingLayout" - External Job Description
- "competencies" - Competencies
