Symptom
Although the Location field is not enabled in Configure People Profile and does not appear in the Web UI, it is still displayed in Employee Profile Header on the Mobile App.
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 Employee Profile
- SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite
Reproducing the Issue
- Navigate to Configure People Profile / Configure Latest People Profile;
- In Configure Header Fields, de-select Location > Save;
- Navigate to the Employee Profile of any user in Web;
- Verify that the Location field is not displayed;
- Log in to the SuccessFactors Mobile App;
- Navigate to the Employee Profile header of the same user;
- Observe that the Location field is still visible in the profile header.
Cause
Due to legacy API limitations, there are gaps between the mobile profile and web profile in the current People Profile Header.
Resolution

Workaround:
Enable New People Profile Experience following the steps below.
- Navigate to Company System and Logo Settings;
