Symptom
When attempting to approve the termination workflow for Manager A, the following error message is displayed:
"This operation cannot be performed due to errors in other records."
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
Reproducing the Issue
-
Initiate the termination process for Manager A and discover an unknown direct reportee in the system.
-
Click Save. A termination workflow is automatically triggered.
-
Attempt to approve the workflow. The error message is displayed: "This operation cannot be performed due to errors in other records."
Cause
Using Data Inspector tool to examine Table_USERS_SYSINFO for users where Manager = A, it was identified that Manager A has a direct reportee with the following characteristics:
- User ID: AAA
- Username: BBB
- Valid: e (means it is a Onboarding external user)
- Name Field: Unknown
This incomplete user record prevents the termination workflow approval from processing.
Resolution
- Verify the status of the direct reportee.
- Determine whether the direct reportee needs to be hired or purged.
- After verifying the above, reattempt to process the termination workflow again.
