Symptom
- The Get Job Location() function does not populate or update the target Job Requisition field when triggered via a Business Rule configured on On Save or On Change. (Configuration of Get Job Location (): 3587439 - 1H 2025 - Using Business Rules to update new Job Location - Recruiting - SAP for Me)
- Despite the Business Rule being triggered successfully, the Job Location field remains blank or unchanged in the Job Requisition.
- When the “Initiate Migration” action is manually executed from Set Up Job Location Mapping → Initiate Migration, the Job Location is populated correctly in the expected Job Requisition field.
- The inconsistent behavior occurs only when using Business Rules, while manual migration produces the expected result.

Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management
Cause
- The affected Job Requisition fields are configured with multiselect="true". Business Rules do not support multiselect fields.
- This occurs because the corresponding Job Location record in Manage Data > Job Location does not contain a maintained translation for the required locale (for example, Spanish).
Resolution
To resolve the issue:
- Ensure that Business Rules are not configured on fields marked as multiselect="true". Business Rules, including the use of functions such as Get Job Location(), are only supported on single-select or non-multiselect fields.
-
Ensure that the required language translations are maintained for the affected Job Location record.
-
Navigate to Admin Center > Manage Data.
-
Select Job Location and open the specific location being used in the Business Rule.
-
Check the Translations section (for example, City, State, or other relevant fields).
-
Populate the missing translation values for the needed locale (such as Spanish).
-
Save the changes and retest the Business Rule behavior.
