3791225 - Department name being displayed twice in header - SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central/Profile

Symptom

After enabling Employment Differentiator with Department field, this field is shown twice for employees with single employment.

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite
  • SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
    • People Profile - Full Profile

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Configure Employment Differentiator in Manage Data and include the Department field.
  2. Open a user’s Latest People Profile (Full Profile).
  3. Observe the People header shows Department twice or with differing values (for single employment users).

Cause

Department is rendered by built-in header logic for single employment users (hard-coded retrieval from the Department entity), and when Department is also configured in Employment Differentiator, the header displays both values, resulting in duplication or inconsistent labels. For multiple employments, Department is not rendered by the built-in logic and relies on Employment Differentiator/header configuration.
