Symptom
Should Sequence Number be autogenerated as a single, unique number or an alphanumeric value when completing hiring process from Manage Pending Hires tool?
Environment
- SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
- SAP SuccessFactors HCM
Reproducing the Issue
Firstly, enable Sequence Number to be visible and not editable in Manage Business Configuration > payComponentNonRecurring, then:
- Complete a hire from Manage Pending Hires by filling out all requirement fields
- Select any One Time Payments and fill our all required fields
- After workflow approval (if applicable), go to User Profile and see that Sequence Number is like 1, 2, 3 etc.
Cause
At present, sequence numbers are generated as alphanumeric only in Centralized Services. However, the legacy flow still follows the old method of generating sequence numbers, which is numeric.
Resolution
Engineering Team has planned to fix this inconsistency as part of 2H 2024 Release.
