3784411 - Error with No competencies have an identical name. (Check ID: DuplicateCompetencyNameCheck) - Center of Capabilities

Symptom

When running the checks for the Center of Capabilities application in Admin Center > Check Tool, issue(s) for the check "DuplicateCompetencyNameCheck" can be found. 

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Center of Capabilities

Cause

The same competency name exists for multiple locales

Resolution

Each competency name will need to be unique for each locale. You can follow the steps in Using Center of Capabilities - Adding Translations for Capabilities Library Entities to make small changes to the competency names to ensure the check clears.

For example, if you have 3 locales with a name of Works Well with Others, you can keep one name the same and adjust the other two names. Some examples of changes could be:

    • Add a . (period) at the end: Works Well with Others. 
    • Add the 2 character identifier of the language: Works Well with Others_GB
