3624779 - Business Rule trigger type Post Save Rule not supported for Custom MDF entity

Symptom

Currently the business rule currently doesn't support Post Save Rule purpose for custom MDF entity to use Set function, like we can use for Standard Entities.

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 HXM Core
    • API
      • ODATA API

Reproducing the Issue

Create a Business Rule for the Custom MDF object.

  1. Go to Admin Center  Configure Object Definitions.
  2. Select the object that you’ve already created, for example cust_Alert.
  3. Click Take Action > Make Correction.
  4. In the Rules section, select the newly created rule for Post Save Rules but there is no rule populating in this section

Cause

Currently as per the functionality we can only use the Post Save Rule to trigger the alert event so that the user gets the notification about any business event, which is  required to post save the rule in the Configure Object Definitions page. We cannot use the Set Function to set values function for Post Save Rules.

Resolution

We have created an enhancement request with the engineering team as a Product feedback to check the feasibility to extend the functionality.
