3672474 - To Be Hired not updated when candidate is processed in Manage Pending Hires for future date

Symptom

The system does not automatically set the "To Be Hired" flag to "No" on a position when a candidate is hired with a future start date.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Hire a candidate for a position with a future start date in Manage Pending Hires
  2. Navigate to the Position Org Chart
  3. Observe that the "To Be Hired" flag remains set to "Yes" even though a hire has been processed for the position.

Cause

The "To Be Hired" setting within the system is designed to reflect the effective date of a hire, not the date the hire process was completed.

Resolution

In order to not incorrectly start any Job Requisition processes, you can:

  1. Manually update the "To Be Hired" flag by inserting a new record as of the current date.
  2. Review the position record for future changes.
  3. Use the Position Org Chart date picker to view future changes to the position.
