3518335 - EC Alert Notification Doesn't Send Email When end date or Termination Date is in The Past or Inactive User

Symptom

EC Alert Notification Doesn't Send Email When end date or Termination Date is in The Past

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 Employee Central

Cause

Working as design

For terminated employees, even if you don't exclude them with the above IF conditions, the alerts are created, but they won't be sent to the terminated accounts.

Resolution

Currently this expected behaviour.

  • The alert will not be triggered for inactive records. The alert is based on active users. When a user is selected for a past date, they will be marked as inactive.
  • This means that the alert system will not include inactive users when sending out alerts.
