Symptom
If a customer wishes to use CSB XML Feeds to distribute job postings to job boards/external vendors, there are a basic number of data fields to create job feeds.
The feed options are based on the source templates developed in collaboration with the vendors based on the fields that they require.
For these source options there are standard fields that are required in order to map effectively and then there are fields that are strongly recommended for best practice.
This KBA provides these lists.

The feeds themselves are able to be generated by the SAP Professional Services team or by implementation partners with access to the Career Site Builder backend system (Command Center). In certain scenarios the SAP PS team can moderately adjust source templates to adapt to non-standard field mapping. For example, naming conventions of the fields can be adapted to match the customer's schema. However, for feed and system efficiency it is strongly recommended to maintain the best practice process of field mapping and not altering the field naming conventions unless required for vendor connections. Most vendors can accept the field labels that are provided and adapt the job collection to align to their import values.
