Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite
  • SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central -HRIS Sync

Cause

Resolution

The HRIS sync mapping for the Country is Fields Hard-Coded in the system using the Coprorate Address of the Location (Job Information > Location > Corporate Address > Country).

The system synchronizes some Employee Central data based on the hard-coded sync mappings from HRIS fields to standard and userinfo elements.

To avoid unexpected behaviors, don't delete nor duplicate hard-coded sync mappings.

Recommendation

  • We strongly recommend that you do not override hard-coded HRIS Sync mappings in the Succession Data Model. But if your business processes require the override, note the cautions and rules while adding custom HRIS Sync mappings.
