3755585 - Manager Change emails sent to both old and new managers in Intelligent Services

Symptom

When changing the manager of an employee using the “Manager Change” event reason, email notifications are sent to both the old and the new manager.

Environment

SuccessFactors Employee Central: Intelligent Services

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Change the manager of an employee using the “Manager Change” event reason.
  2. Observe that email notifications are sent to both the old and the new manager, although the flow is configured to notify only the new manager.

Cause

  • The manager-change event was processed before HRIS synchronization completed.
  • Manager data was retrieved via the User API during this window, which returned the previous manager instead of the updated manager.

Resolution

  1. Engineering has implemented a change to retrieve the manager ID from the Employee Central (EC) API (Job Information) instead of the User API to ensure the latest data is used.
  2. The fix is planned for the 1H 2026 release.
  3. For release timelines, please review SAP SuccessFactors Product Release & Road Map Information.
