3648477 - "Direct" mapping type fields appear blank in leave notification template

Symptom

  • "Direct" mapping type fields from Manage Document Template Mapping appear blank in the leave email notification generated via Document Generation template.
  • Other fields with mapping type equal to "Reference" are populated correctly in the notification.

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
  • SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Time Off

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a custom notification template in Document Generation
  2. Map the template fields as "Direct" and others as "Reference" using Manage Document Template Mapping.
  3. Create a workflow with Workflow
  4. Trigger the leave of absence notification.
  5. Observe that the "Direct" mapping type fields appear blank, while other fields mapped as "Reference" are populated correctly.

Cause

Direct mapping type is not supported for employee time.

Resolution

At the moment, "Direct" mapping type is not supported for employee time.

Please refer to 2550351 - Tags used for Time Off Workflow Notifications and Available Workflow Tags for E-mail Notifications to check the supported tags and use the others supported mapping types.
