3800056 - Cannot populate Job Application field from Offer Approval using business rule - Recruiting Management

• A business rule intended to write a value from an Offer Approval field to a Job Application field does not populate the target field.
• The rule runs without visible errors, but the application field remains empty.
• Attempts using expressions such as Format(), FormatNumber(), and ToNumber() do not change the outcome.
• No specific error messages are displayed.

• SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management

1. Configure an onSave business rule on the Offer Detail template to set a Job Application field equal to an Offer Approval field.
2. Use a source field of type percent on the offer and a target field on the application configured as number or text.
3. Save the offer so the rule runs.
4. Observe that the Job Application target field is not populated and no error is shown, even when using Format(), FormatNumber(), or ToNumber() functions.

• By design, writing from an Offer Approval field to a Job Application field via business rule is not supported; field type conversion functions do not overcome this limitation.
• A fundamental field type incompatibility prevents successful assignment when source and target field types do not match.

1. Note that the requested behavior is not feasible as per current system design and cannot be achieved with business rules.
