Symptom
- The 'Vacant' (To Be Hired) in a position does not automatically update when the position's FTE is reached
- This issue is observed when there is a future hire assigned to that position.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Position Management
Reproducing the Issue
- Create a position with a specific FTE.
- Hire employees for the position until the target FTE is reached, leaving one user with a hire date in the future.
- Check the 'Vacant' field in the Position Management system, it will not be updated with the last hire.
Cause
The issue arises due to the setting "Set or Reset ‘To Be Hired’ Status if an Incumbent’s ‘FTE’ is Changed" being set to "Only if Planned FTE Value is Reached". This prevents the 'Vacant' field from updating to 'No' even when the target FTE is reached.
Resolution
- Navigate to Position Management Settings -> General.
- Change the setting "Set or Reset ‘To Be Hired’ Status if an Incumbent’s ‘FTE’ is Changed" to "Always".
- Check the 'Vacant' field in the Position Management system after the target FTE is reached.
