3799521 - Latvia postal code validation rejects "LV-NNNN" with error "wrong format of the zip code expecting format NNNN"

Symptom

  • The standard validation for postal codes in Latvia only allows four numeric digits and prevents entry of the "LV-NNNN" format.
  • The error message displayed is: "Wrong Format of the zip code expecting format NNNN".
  • The issue occurs when entering postal codes for a person attached to a legal entity operating in Latvia.

Environment

SuccessFactors Employee Central 2605

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Enter a postal code in the format "LV-NNNN" for a person attached to a legal entity operating in Latvia.
  2. Observe the error message: "Wrong Format of the zip code expecting format NNNN".

Cause

The current behavior is expected.

Resolution

An additional format allowing the "LV-" prefix is planned for the 1H 2027 release.

Until the planned enhancement is delivered, continue to use the four-digit NNNN format for Latvian postal codes.
