3527693 - Position status not updating after Contingent Worker is properly assigned to the position

Symptom

  • You noticed that the worker is correctly assigned to the Position, but the position status still remains in "To Be Hired" status. 
  • You might be creating the Contingent Workers in FieldGlass, and then replicating them to SuccessFactors through the standard package SAP Fieldglass with SuccessFactors EC - Contingent Worker. 

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite
 

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create the CW in FieldGlass system
  2. Replicate the worker from FieldGlass to SuccessFactors
  3. CW is correctly assigned to the position
  4. The Position status remains unchanged, as "To Be Hired". 

Cause

Missing configuration from the Employee Central side. 

Resolution

First, please review the following Position Management Guide page that helps solving this issue: https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_SUCCESSFACTORS_EMPLOYEE_CENTRAL/cf23ba26985f4d4a8df3a34b7392847d/535fb73ccb934214be7a569d89e8bef0.html?locale=en-US

Also, please note:

You can specify that the position "To Be Hired" status is automatically set or reset if the incumbent's FTE is changed via Manager Self Service (MSS) or a job information import.

When you choose Yes, the system checks whether the sum of the incumbent's FTE is less than the position Target FTE. If it is, the system sets the "To Be Hired" status to "True"; if it is not, the system sets the "To Be Hired" status to "False".

When you choose No, the "To Be Hired" status is not adapted. Note that this check only takes place when the position assignment is not changed simultaneously.

You can disable the "To Be Hired" status adaptation during the job information import.
