3649348 - Error "effectiveStartDate: 01/01/1800 is not a valid date value" when deleting records via Import/Export in SuccessFactors

Error message: "effectiveStartDate: 01/01/1800 is not a valid date value" is received when attempting to delete a record dated before 1900 via Import/Export feature.

SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite

1. Log in to the system
2. Via Import/Export feature upload a CSV file to delete a record with the effective start date set to 01/01/1800, or earlier.
3. Observe the error message: "effectiveStartDate: 01/01/1800 is not a valid date value."

The backend system enforces a restriction where the smallest acceptable date for records is 01/01/1900. This validation is not performed in the user interface, leading to inconsistencies when attempting to delete records with older dates via Import/Export.

The system only accepts records with dates from 01/01/1900 onwards but does not validate this restriction in the user interface.

To resolve the issue and complete the Import/Export, follow the steps:

1. Update the effectiveStartDate of the record to a date after 01/01/1900 (e.g., 01/01/1901).
   1. Ensure the new date does not conflict with other existing records.
2. Retry the deletion process for the updated record.
