Symptom
- The labels for the MDF Generic Objects, specifically Business Unit and Division, are not updating as expected.
- Despite making changes, the system does not reflect these updates.
- No error message is displayed during this process.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
Reproducing the Issue
- Navigate to Configure Object Definition.
- Search for the Configure Object Definition.
- Search for the Business Unit.
- Attempt to change the label to Department.
- Change from Business Unit to Department on Description.
- Save the changes.
- Repeat the process for Division.
Cause
The issue occurs due to the en_US locale being disabled or missing in the system. This prevents label updates from taking effect.
Resolution
- Re-enable the English US (en_US) in the system's enabled languages. This will allow the system to apply the label changes correctly.
- If re-enabling en_US is not preferred, maintain translations for the active locale (e.g., English UK or any other enabled language) in Manage Data > Translation for the relevant object fields.
