3750976 - Adhoc Report - Unable to Filter Candidate Background Picklist Field Due to Anonymized Value - Recruiting Management

In Ad Hoc Reporting, when attempting to filter on picklist fields from Candidate Background Elements, the page keeps loading.

SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management

1. Create a new Table report.
2. Setup Filters.
3. Select a picklist field from any Candidate Background Element (for example, "Candidate: Education" or "Candidate: Work Experience").
4. Observe that the page keeps loading
5. Check the browser‘s Developer Tools (Network tab) and observe an application error ("fingerprint": "7f1bd5f11ae44477a390016b3a0bfcd7fd62ef0a").

(For SAP Support: refer to internal memo)

This is a known issue. Currently, application is updating BG-picklist fields to 'Anonymized' value instead of '-99999'. Hence, its causing error in Reporting.

The fix for this issue is planned to be deployed on 2H 2026 release (b2611). For release timelines, please review SAP SuccessFactors Product Release & Road Map Information.

Workaround

Apply a report filter using "Anonymized Flag = Non-Anonymized" to exclude anonymized records from the results.
