3642194 - Validating Dependent Gender in Hire/Rehire via Business Rule Triggered on Person Relationship Info

• You want to validate the Gender of a dependent (e.g., allow only “Male” or “Female”) during the Hire or Rehire process using a business rule.
• You are unsure where to assign the rule and which base object to use so that it works reliably. 
• "Image/Data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data or demo systems.Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental."

• SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

1. Create a business rule with Base Object = Employee Information.

2. Assign the rule to personRelationshipInfo in BCUI under the onSave event.

3. Go to Add New Employee → add a dependent with gender value other than Male/Female.

4. Try to submit the hire:

   • If the rule is correctly configured, the error message appears.

   • If incorrectly configured or assigned, the rule does not trigger.

• When a business rule is triggered from the Person Relationship Info HRIS element during the Hire or Rehire process, the system evaluates the dependent record directly.
• This allows access to dependent personal information such as Gender, even when the base object is Employee Information.
• This is not the same as the limitation described in Kba 2701119 - Business Rules - Personal Information Model cannot be evaluated complete, where dependent personal info cannot be accessed from unrelated base objects (e.g., Biographical Information).

Step 1: Create the Rule

1. Go to Configure Business Rules.

2. In the Create New Rule window:

   • Select Scenario: Employee Central → Rules for Hire/Rehire Processes

   • Base Object: Employee Information

3. Build your logic (see example below).

Step 2: Assign the Rule in BCUI

1. Go to Manage Business Configuration (BCUI).

2. Search for the HRIS Element: personRelationshipInfo.

3. Under Trigger Rules, add your new rule under the onSave event.

4. Save your changes.

Step 3: Testing the Rule

1. Go to Add New Employee.

2. Fill in the main employee details.

3. In Person Relationships, add a dependent.

4. Set the dependent’s Gender to a value other than Male or Female.

5. Try to submit,the error message should display.
