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
- Create a dynamic group filter referencing a field on Generic Object(legal entity, position, division, etc.).
- Change values on the company itself.
- Observe that the RBP groups do not automatically update.
- Perform an RBP refresh and observe that the groups still do not update.
- 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.
