3779563 - Termination Date Field fetched as NULL in onSave Rules on Add Contingent Worker Page

Symptom

When configuring an onSave rule (for example, to trigger a workflow) on the Add Contingent Worker page, the Termination Date field is evaluated as NULL in the rule trace, even though a value is entered during the hire process. 

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Contingent Worker

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Configure an onSave rule to use the Termination Date field on the Add Contingent Worker page.
  2. Navigate to Add Contingent Worker.
  3. In the Identity Information section, enter a value in the Termination Date field.
  4. Enter the required details in the other sections of the template.
  5. Save / submit the contingent worker hire.
  6. Observe the rule trace and notice that the Termination Date value is fetched as NULL.

Cause

  • This is a current limitation.
  • The Termination Date field is not available in onSave workflow rules on the Add Contingent Worker page because its value is populated after rule evaluation completes.

Resolution

  • OnSave rules in the contingent worker hire page does not support the termination date field.
  • Workaround:
    • Create a custom Date field in the Job Information (JobInfo) HRIS element for contingent workers to temporarily store the termination date.
    • Configure an onInit rule on JobInfo: if Termination Date is not null, set the custom field equal to the Termination Date.
    • Update onSave/workflow business rules to reference the custom Date field instead of the standard Termination Date.
    • Optionally hide the custom field on the profile using onView rules or Role-Based Permissions.
  • If you would like to enhance the product and to have this functionality, please request an enhancement request as per KBA 2090228 mentioning the requirement and business needs so that product team can assess and implement the functionality based on feasibility.
