3748587 - Succession Data Model (SDM) Import fails with compinfo field visibility errors for compa-ratio and range-penetration This attribute is not configurable based on the metadata

Symptom

You would receive an application error when importing the Succession Data Model from Provisioning 

The application error id would be accompanied by Error message: "Form data is invalid. HRIS Element ‘compInfo’ is configured incorrectly. Cannot change visibility for field compa-ratio. This attribute is not configurable based on the metadata. HRIS Element ‘compInfo’ is configured incorrectly. Cannot change visibility for field range-penetration. This attribute is not configurable based on the metadata."

The system reports that HRIS Element 'compInfo' is configured incorrectly regarding the visibility of fields 'compa-ratio' and 'range-penetration'.

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 Cloud
  • SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite
  • SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
  • Manage Business Configuration (BCUI) & Data Models (XML)

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Import the Succession Data Model from Provisioning.
  2. Observe the error indicating configuration issues with the HRIS Element 'compInfo' for fields 'compa-ratio' and 'range-penetration' with : visibility="none"

Code:

 <hris-field id="compa-ratio" visibility="none" maximumFractionDigits="2">
      <label>Compa Ratio</label>
      <label xml:lang="en-GB">Compa Ratio</label>
      <label xml:lang="en-DEBUG">Compa Ratio_Lbl#5770</label>     
      <label xml:lang="en-US">Compa Ratio</label>
    </hris-field>
   

<hris-field id="range-penetration" visibility="none" maximumFractionDigits="2">
      <label>Range Penetration</label>
      <label xml:lang="en-GB">Range Penetration</label>
      <label xml:lang="en-DEBUG">Range Penetration_Lbl#5771</label>
      <label xml:lang="en-US">Range Penetration</label>
    </hris-field>

Cause

The visibility of fields 'compa-ratio' and 'range-penetration' in HRIS element 'compInfo' was set to "none", but these attributes are not configurable per metadata, causing the import validation to fail.

  1. Navigate to Manage Business Configuration (BCUI).
  2. Open the Compensation Information (compInfo) HRIS element.
  3. Review the fields 'compa-ratio' and 'range-penetration'.
  4. Remove any visibility modifications and set the visibility for both fields to "none".( Disable)

Resolution

  1. Navigate to Manage Business Configuration (BCUI).
  2. Open the Compensation Information (compInfo) HRIS element.
  3. Review the fields 'compa-ratio' and 'range-penetration'.
  4. Remove any visibility modifications and set the visibility for both fields to "view".

Solution Code:

<hris-field id="compa-ratio" visibility="view" maximumFractionDigits="2">
      <label>Compa Ratio</label>
      <label xml:lang="en-GB">Compa Ratio</label>
      <label xml:lang="en-US">Compa Ratio</label>      
    </hris-field>
    <hris-field id="range-penetration" visibility="view" maximumFractionDigits="2">
      <label>Range Penetration</label>
      <label xml:lang="en-GB">Range Penetration</label>
      <label xml:lang="en-US">Range Penetration</label>     
    </hris-field>
