Symptom
- The Position to Job Information synchronization is NOT working when a workflow is involved with the "Pending Data=No" on Position object, as of 1H 2025 release.
- The Position to Job Information synchronization was working when a workflow is involved with the "Pending Data=No" on Position object in 2H 2024 release.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central: Position Management
Reproducing the Issue
- Navigate to "Manage Positions".
- Search for Position assigned on Job Information of user.
- Update any field ex: "Department".
- Save the change.
- Workflow is triggered.
- Observe that the change is not reflected in Job Information.
- Approve the workflow.
- Observe that the change is not reflected in Job Information.
Cause
- The issue arises when a workflow is triggered, and the Position object has Pending Data set to "No". This configuration is not supported as per MDF object configuration.
- As per MDF object definition (Important Configuration Guidelines and Usage Limits | SAP Help Portal ), if workflow is involved Pending data should be set to "Yes" else Pending Data should be set to "No" so that changes are saved once workflow is approved.
Resolution
Enable the Pending Data to "Yes" on Position object, if workflow is triggered during the Position to Job Information synchronization.
