Symptom
In Learning Administration user profiles, the Organization, Employee Type, Job Position, Job Location and Target Job Position fields display inconsistently: for some users only the description is displayed, while others show the description followed by the ID in parentheses.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Learning
Reproducing the Issue
- Access Learning Administration >
- Go to People > Users and search for a user >
- Open the user profile >
- Observe that Organization, Employee Type, Job Position, Job Location and Target Job Position fields show only the description >
- Search for a different user >
- Open the user profile >
- Observe that the same fields show the description followed by the ID in parentheses.
Cause
- Certain fields are associated with the Position field: Organization, Employee Type, Job Position, Job Location, and Target Job Position.
- For these associated fields, the display value on the user profile is affected by whether the Position field is populated for that user.
- If the Position field is populated, the system displays only the description for associated fields. If not populated, the system displays the description together with the ID.
Resolution
- The Position field is a legacy field and it should not be populated on the users' profile.
- If assistance is required to adjust integrations and mappings or correct existing user data, it is advised to work with a partner or engage SAP Professional Services.
- Note that the Position field and the Position Connector are legacy features and their use is not recommended, they may be decommissioned in the future.
