Symptom

  • SCIM API is returning firstemail@email.com which is not correct as this is business email.
  • Rehire welcome email is sent to business email or incorrect email.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding

Reproducing the Issue

  • A user with email id firstemail@email.com gets terminated in SuccessFactors and synced to IAS.
  • This same user is rehired later with a new email id: secondemail@email.com.
  • In SuccessFactors it shows secondemail@email.com active
