3656944 - Transfer of direct reports upon termination of the Manager when Position Management is not enabled.

Symptom

  • An employee with termination date in the future decided to stay in the organization and the termination was revoked later. 
  • Despite the deletion of the termination record from the Manager's Job Info, the direct reports keeps reporting to the upper-level manager.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Terminate an employee with direct reports, selecting the "Transfer Direct Reports" option to move them to the upper-level manager.
  2. Revoke the termination before the effective date.
  3. Observe that the direct reports remain assigned to the upper level manager instead of reverting to the original manager.

Cause

  • This is expected behavior.
  • The system logic only processes direct report transfers based on the "Transfer Direct Reports" option selected during termination initiation.
  • There is no built-in functionality to revert the reporting hierarchy upon termination revocation.

Resolution

  • Manually delete the new job info record created for the direct reports' transfer to the upper-level manager or
  • If Position Management is enabled, utilize Automated Hierarchy Adaptation to correct such transfers during the next job run.
