3703538 - FTE is Changed During Global Assignment Termination - SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

Symptom

  • While ending a global assignment, the FTE of users changes from 1 to another value. 
  • No rules are configured to trigger this behavior.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Add a global assignment for a user. Set FTE as 1 during this process.
  2. Terminate the global assignment.
  3. Observe the FTE field in the job information record after termination and see that it got changed.

Cause

System calculates the FTE dividing the job information standard hours by either the Position, Job Code, Location or Company standard hours, on this order (it will select the first value found). This is explained in the guide: Calculating FTE | SAP Help Portal

When ending a global assignment, the FTE field is not available on the screen for manual update, leading to automatic calculation based on the object's standard hours.

Resolution

Ensure that the standard hours in the object are set according to the actual standard hours of the users assigned. For example:

  • If the standard hours are supposed to be 40 for a specific position, they must be configured as 40 in the position settings.
