3541658 - Incorrect Employee ID Generation

Symptom

  • In the process of hiring a new employee, the Employee ID is not being generated as expected based on the selected sequence in the rule.
  • Employee ID generation rule has been set with different sequences 
  • Create a new employee > choose one subordinate of legal entity and save it as a draft. 
  • When returning to the draft version > modify the subordinate of legal entity and submit the new hire > employee ID generation does not follow the sequence series according to the rule. 

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central, Add New Employee Wizard

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Initiate the process to add a new employee.
  2. Select "A" for a subordinate of legal entity.
  3. Save the new employee entry as a draft.
  4. Reopen the draft and change the subordinate to "B".
  5. Submit the new employee entry. The Employee ID is incorrectly generated and does not follow the sequence.

Cause

The issue is due to the Role-Based Permissions (RBP) for the workflow approver on the MDF object "Hire/Rehire configuration". The "Hire/Rehire configuration" object is configured as secured with its permission category as "Miscellaneous Permissions", and the workflow approver does not have permission to this object.

Resolution

  1. Identify that the "Hire/Rehire configuration" object is configured as secured.
  2. Either remove the security configuration for this object or grant the necessary permissions for this object.
