Symptom
When creating the Benefit Master Data Changes Job via provisioning, you are not able to save the job as the following error occurs:
Can not schedule this job due to the following errors: The job occurrence set as Yearly Recurring, supports only a single day and month.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to provisioning;
- Create a new Benefit Master Data Changes Job;
- In Occurrence, set Recurring and Yearly;
- Select all months;
- Try to save;
- The error will show.
Cause
Prior the 1H2025 release the system allowed this job to be created with more than one month and day. However, this behavior went against the Job's safeguards and best practices.
Resolution
Only Yearly occurrence is supported for this job, so a new validation was introduced with 1H2025 release to prevent its creation with a different Occurrence than one month per year.
