3660588 - Warning in Offer Approval Page "An offer approval for these candidates (xxx) has already been generated for PositionName (xxx)" - Recruiting Management

Symptom

If the Standard Position object field (std_position_obj) is configured in the job requisition and offer detail template and a candidate already has offer details with a specific position value, creating a new offer detail for another candidate and attempting to save or send the offer for approval will result in the following warning message:

'An offer approval for these candidates (candidateID) has already been generated for PositionName (PositionCode)'

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Recruiting > Open the Job Requisition
  2. Select the Application in the Offer status
  3. Take Action > Offer Approval
  4. Select the template, fill the fields
  5. Click to Save or Send for Approval
  6. Receives the warning message

Resolution

As per the system design, when the standard position object field is included in the offer detail template, the system performs a validation check to see if any existing offer approvals are associated with the same position. If they are, a warning message is displayed, indicating for which candidate the offer approval has already been granted for that position.

Note: This is merely a warning message, and you can proceed with the offer approval for candidates without any issues.
