Symptom
- When the "Return from Leave" date for an employee is changed, the system reverts the employee's position in the "Job Information" portlet to their old position instead of retaining the new position(updated position).
- Example: If the original return date is August 2, 2025, with a new position assigned on the same date, and the return date is later changed to August 6, 2025, the system updates the return date but reverts the position to the old one.
Environment
- SAP Successfactors Employee Central - Time Off
- SAP Successfactors Employee Central - Position Management
Reproducing the Issue
Prerequisite:
Right to Return for Leave of Absence is not enabled under Position Management Settings.
Steps:
- Set an employee's "Return from Leave" date and assign a new position on the same date or after that date.
- Change the "Return from Leave" date to a later date.
- Observe that the system reverts the position to the old position in the "Job Information" portlet.
Resolution
- Engineering team has created a code correction request to fix this issue and currently under analysis.
- Please bookmark this KBA and monitor for further updates.
Workaround:
- Go to absence record and clear the actual return date after position change record is created in the job information portlet.
- save the absence.
- This will delete the Return from Leave record from job info .
- Go to absence record again and then input the actual return date so that position shows updated one in job information.
