Symptom
Error while adding Alternative Cost Distribution in Global Assignment host profile when Latest Editing of object is enabled in FPP: Looks like something went wrong. Error code: 400
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
Reproducing the Issue
- In Configure People Profile, enable the latest viewing, editing, and history UI for the Alternative Cost Distribution portlet.
- Navigate to a global assignment and open the host profile.
- Attempt to add an Alternative Cost Distribution entry (for example, an alternate cost center).
- Observe that the portlet fails to open or save, returning "Looks like something went wrong. Error code: 400". Back-end logs show BadRequest with message that the field is maintained only on the home assignment.
Cause
Public Sector content is still missing for Employee Cost Assignment and Higher Duty & Temporary assignment. Planned for 2H2026.
Resolution
- Maintain Alternative Cost Distribution values on the home assignment only. Do not update them on the host assignment of a global assignment.
- Alternatively, use the standard configuration UI instead of the latest viewing, editing, and history UI for the Alternative Cost Distribution portlet in People Profile.
