3525578 - Hierarchy of Department in Company Structure Overview in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central is not displayed

Symptom

Even though the parent and child relationship of Department is configured in Manage Data, in Company Structure Overview, all Departments are visible at the same level with no parent and child relationship displayed.

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

Reproducing the Issue

  • Navigate to Manage Data
  • Create parent and child relationship between two departments

       

  • Navigate to Company Structure Overview and search for the child department
  • Click on Up One Level
  • Note that all departments are displayed at the same level with no hierarchy displayed

           

Cause

1. Navigate to Manage Data->Company Structure Definition and configure a parent and child relationship association as below

2.Make sure to click on department in the two options popping up after clicking on Up One Level in Company Structure Overview
