Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Assume today's date is May 10th
  2. Create an initial record of the custom MDF object with effective dating May 1st
  3. add a new record with effective dating May 4th so it will become the current record
  4. add a new record in between, May 2nd
  5. See that on the current record it shows "records added: 1  records deleted: 1" 

Resolution

  • This is expected behavior
  • Please note that this is not an audit
  • This is a history comparison between the current time slice and the previous time slice.
