3550793 - Using 'Division' Attribute as Filter Criteria in SCIM API Not Working

You want to filter a group of users in the SCIM API using the "Division" attribute. The expectation is that applying a filter would return only users from a specific division. However, the filter does not return the expected results. 

• SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite
• SAP SuccessFactors SCIM API
• Identity Provisioning Service

• In the IPS property sf.user.filter, specify the following:

  "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:enterprise:2.0:User:division eq "Direct Sales (DIR_SALES)"

• The filter does not return users from the specified division as expected.

The "division" attribute is not part of the core set of attributes defined by SCIM 2.0. As a result, it is not natively supported for filtering in SCIM API queries.

A workaround is to use IPS transformation. This approach enables you to transform the data to meet specific filtering criteria, even if that attribute isn't natively supported in the SCIM schema. For more details, refer to the SAP documentation on transformations to explore this option further.
