Symptom
- The standard Company field is synced and present in the UDF, but when mapped on the Performance Management form (for example, “Performance Management Form”), the Company value appears blank.
- An error was encountered when enabling Element Permissions for Employee Profile -> Standard -> company.
- The behavior occurs for all employees.
- After launching a new form, the Company field is visible but still shows no value.
- Other fields on the form populate as expected.
Environment
- Product: SAP SuccessFactors Performance & Goals
- Performance Management
Reproducing the Issue
- Log in to the instance.
- Launch a Performance Management form for a user.
- Proxy as the user and open the form.
- Observe that the “Company” field in the User Information section does not display a value.
- Verify that other fields populate as expected.
Cause
- The affected Performance Management form template mapped the Company field to the standard Company field, while the instance stores the company/legal entity value in a custom field (for example, Custom15).
- Performance Management forms capture user information at the time of form creation and do not backfill values after configuration changes.
Resolution
- Edit the affected Performance Management form template XML and map the Company field in the Employee Information section to the custom field that holds the company/legal entity value (for example, Custom15).
- Relaunch new Performance Management forms so they pick up the corrected mapping.
- Recreate or re-sync any already-launched forms where Company is blank, as forms do not update these values automatically after changes.
- If field visibility and permissions are already configured, no additional HRIS Sync or permission changes are required.
