Symptom
externalCode field appears multiple times in the history section when changes are made to the Payment Information portlet.
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 HCM Suite
- SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
Reproducing the Issue
Make sure at least one country has externalCode's Visibility differently from 'Not Visible' in Configure Object Definitions > Payment Information Detail XXX (country), then:
- Navigate to a sample employee.
- Click on the history icon under 'Payment Information'.
- Make changes in order to generate the externalCode random value.
Cause
The visibility setting for the externalCode field in the Configure Object Definitions > Payment Information Details XXX (country) is not adjusted to 'Not Visible' for all countries.
Resolution
- Navigate to Configure Object Definitions.
- Locate the Payment Information Details object for all countries.
- Change the visibility of the externalCode field from 'Read Only' to 'Not Visible'.
- Save the changes and verify that the externalCode field no longer appears multiple times in the history section.
