3715268 - Username Generation for Higher Duty Assignments After Centralized Services Update - 2H 2025

Username for Temporary Internal Assignment/Higher Duty Assignment is generated same as userid instead of the expected format(username-n) where username comes from the Nominal Assignment. 

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

1. Navigate to an employee profile.
2. Select "Take Action" -> Add Higher Duty Assignment
3. Fill in the required details and submit.
4. Observe that the username is generated as a numeric series identical to the user ID, rather than the expected format (username-n).

Centralized services became universal for Higher Duties after the 2H 2025 release, leading to changes in the framework for username generation.

• Engineering team has temporarily fixed the issue via patch which is scheduled on 24th Feb in Preview system and 26th Feb in Production.
• Please bookmark and monitor this KBA for further updates on the resolution.

Workaround

Perform a manual username update via basic import to align with the expected format.
