Symptom
- Workflow group page shows duplicate entries for the same approver in the membership list.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite
Reproducing the Issue
- Navigate to the "Manage Workflow Group" page.
- View the membership of the dynamic workflow group.
- Observe that the same approver appears multiple times in the list.
Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.
Cause
- The field used in the workflow group is configured as a dynamic group (specifically, hris_imInfo$domain).
- The hris_imInfo$domain field supports multiple values, resulting in a one-to-many relationship when querying user data.
- Each value associated with the user for this field appears as a separate entry in the membership list, causing duplicate entries for the same user.
Resolution
- The behavior is working as designed due to the one-to-many relationship of the hris_imInfo$domain field.
- Refer to the group membership list page note: "Some users have multiple entries in the table, thus the discrepancies between member count and number of entries.
- If the behavior does not meet requirements, consider modifying the filter criteria to avoid duplicate entries, such as using a user-specific filter instead of dynamic group criteria.
