3566087 - The Position to Job Information Sync triggers the Business Rule regardless of the Rule Context set

• The rule context "Position to Job Information Sync" does not work when the "Higher-Level Position" field is changed on the Position object.
• The onSave/onChange Job Information business rules are triggered regardless of the Rule Context set during the process of Position to Job Info sync.

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central: Position Management

1. Navigate to Position Object.
2. Change "Higher Level Position".
3. Observe that the Position changes sync and insert a record in Employee Job Information entity.
4. Notice that this process triggers a onSave Business Rule in Job Information with the Rule Context "Position to Job Info Sync" = "No".

This is an expected behavior. This is because when the higher level position is changed from Position, the hierarchy is adjusted in job information also and due to this, all onSave rules would be triggered. 

Also please keep in mind that this limitation applies to any other follow-up processing that is done by position management Like changes to direct reports when a manager change occurs). 

In short, the rule context is only meant when an update is done by position to job info sync rule after a position is changed and not by transactions that are executed on job information of employees or managers that trigger other follow-up processing for position management (like hierarchy adaptation).

If you want to see the rule context feature potentially enhanced in future product releases; please feel free to consider submitting an Enhancement Idea.
