3590908 - Cannot get "Returning to Work On" field under OData API Data Dictionary

Symptom

When creating Absence, you can see a field called "Returning to Work On" in the UI.

You would like to also get this field via OData API call, but you cannot find it under OData API Data Dictionary.

"Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental."  

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HCM

  • OData API

Cause

"Returning to Work On" is just a UI field which is not stored anywhere in DB.

Resolution

This field will be calculated dynamically while creating/viewing absence. Hence it is not possible to get this field value directly through API call.

You may do a similar calculation on your side to get its value.
