3780592 - RBP Permission Groups are not auto-Uupdated after changes to Generic Object fields used as filter in Dynamic Groups

Symptom

  • Dynamic group with people pool picklist referencing to a field in manage data (custom MDF object) does not auto-update permission groups.
  • Changing values on the company does not automatically update the RBP groups, even after an RBP refresh.
  • Only manually updating the RBP groups updates the members within the group.

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite
  • SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a dynamic group filter referencing a field on  Generic Object(legal entity, position, division, etc.).
  2. Change values on the company itself.
  3. Observe that the RBP groups do not automatically update.
  4. Perform an RBP refresh and observe that the groups still do not update.
  5. Manually update the RBP groups to see the members within the group update.

Cause

This is know issue and Engineering team are working on a code fix.

After a Generic Object attribute update, the HRIS sync job was not adding affected users to the "all sync users" list during GO update downstream data synchronization. As a result, the Dynamic Group Member Refresh Task  missed those affected users and the group member count was not refreshed correctly.

Resolution

The fix for this issue is planned to be deployed with the patch  1H 2026 P15.
