Symptom
- State/province tax forms are triggered for candidates based on different criteria for USA and Canada.
- For USA candidates, both work location state and home address state tax forms are triggered.
- For Canada candidates, only work location province tax forms are triggered.
- A business requirement is to trigger only home address state tax forms for USA candidates without affecting the current configuration for Canada.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors
Reproducing the Issue
- Configure FieldMetaDataOverride in Manage Data to trigger tax forms for both work location and home address for USA candidates and work location for Canada candidates.
- Create a test candidate for USA with work location state as California and home address state as Arkansas. Observe that two state tax forms are triggered.
- Create a test candidate for Canada with work location province as Newfoundland and Labrador and home address province as Ontario. Observe that only the work location province tax form is triggered.
Cause
- The standard state compliance configuration for SAP SuccessFactors assigns compliance forms differently for USA and Canada.
- For USA, compliance forms are assigned based on both home state and work location state.
- For Canada, compliance forms are determined only by the work location province.
Resolution
- Identify the business requirement to trigger only home address state tax forms for USA candidates while maintaining the current configuration for Canada.
- Create a custom field (e.g., custom-string21) in Job Information to store the work location for Canadian candidates.
- Map this custom field to the work state using FieldMetaOverrideConfig in Manage Data.
- Update the configuration to ensure that:
- For USA candidates, compliance forms are triggered based on home address state only.
- For Canada candidates, compliance forms are triggered based on work location province only.
- Validate the configuration changes using test candidates for both USA and Canada to ensure the desired behavior is achieved.
