Symptom
System prevents saving the value "NO_MANAGER" in the Job information portlet after enabling the checkbox "Enable the latest Editing and History UI for Employee Central HRIS entities on Full Profile (Except Compensation Information)" under General in Configure Latest People Profile.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Job Information
Reproducing the Issue
- Navigate to the user's Jobinformation section.
- Click on the pencil icon to edit the record.
- Provide any effective date for the change.
- Enter "NO_MANAGER" in the Supervisor field.
- Attempt to save the record.
- System displays an error and prevents saving.
Resolution
This is the expected behavior in the Latest People Profile, in line with the current product design and standard functionality. However, we encourage you to submit an enhancement request to have this functionality considered within future development cycles – you can do this on our Customer Community Portal at http://community.successfactors.com/.
We are addressing this issue internally, though a firm fix date is not yet available. In the meantime, please use one of these workarounds to proceed:
- Use Incremental Import.
- Use MSS "Change Job and Compensation Information".
- Alternatively, disable the "Enable the latest Editing and History UI for Employee Central HRIS entities on Full Profile" switch in Configure Latest People Profile.
