Symptom
Error appears while importing the field "Ok to Rehire" to Yes, for temporary assignments.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
Reproducing the Issue
- Navigate to Import Employee Data.
- Select Termination Details and choose the file.
- Observe the error during validation/import: "XXX is an invalid external code for event reason."
Cause
Expected behaviour.
Resolution
After a higher duty or temporary assignment is terminated, it cannot be reinstated (re-hired). Hence, the system will show an error and will not allow to edit the records. Additionally, Higher Duty does not support the import of Employment Termination Information; therefore, the import will fail.
