3626221 - Business Rule Is Not Triggered for Sequence 2 record when Importing Mutiple Record On The Same Effective Date

Symptom

When importing multiple records with the same effective date, the business rule is not applied to the data in sequence number 2 and beyond.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

  • Employee Data Import

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Configure an onChange rule on Field A, setting Field B to be equal to Field A.
  2. Import two records for the same effective date, e.g., 5/22/2025, marning sequence 1&2.
  3. Observe that the rule is triggered successfully for sequence 1, but for sequence 2, the rule is triggered without applying changes to Field B, but reverting the value to the record which is before data import.

Cause

  • The issue is identified as a product gap where the rule does not apply correctly to multiple records with the same effective date during import.

Resolution

As a workaround, import the records in separate import files to ensure the business rule is applied correctly.
