Symptom
- By attempting to trigger the workflow, the rule trace clearly states that the workflow is running, but it does not pop-up in screen.
- The workflow has Dynamic Role as approver and Pay Group as Foundation Object to match the criteria.
Environment
- SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite
- SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
- Business Rules
- Workflows
Reproducing the Issue
- Ensure a workflow with Dynamic Role and Pay Group as Foundation Object for the role is configured.
- Attempt to trigger the workflow, observe that the workflow dialog does not appear, even though the business rule trace shows the workflow was set.
Cause
The pay-group field was active in more than one HRIS element (for example, Compensation Information and Job Information) while the workflow approver Dynamic Role referenced the pay-group from Job Information.
Resolution
- Review HRIS element configuration to identify duplicate/unused pay-group fields across elements (for example, verify both Job Information and Compensation Information).
- If the workflow approver Dynamic Role is intended to evaluate the pay-group from Job Information, deactivate/remove the unused pay-group field in other HRIS elements (for example, Compensation Information) as per SAP Guide Compensation Information.
