Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite

Reproducing the Issue

  1. In the web application, go to Personal Information > Contact Information and select Edit.

  2. Under Phone Information, verify that the Is Primary field is editable.

  3. In the Microsoft Teams SuccessFactors app, open Change Phone Numbers and observe that the Is Primary field is not editable.

Cause

The Microsoft Teams SuccessFactors app mirrors Home Page > Manage My Data > Change Phone Numbers, where the Is Primary field is not editable.

Resolution

  1. To update the Is Primary flag, use the web application: navigate to Personal Information > Contact Information > Edit, and change the Is Primary setting under Phone Information.
  2. This is expected behavior because the Microsoft Teams SuccessFactors app follows Home Page > Manage My Data > Change Phone Numbers, where the Is Primary field is not editable.
