Hi there, Just wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to delimit a recurring deduction using business rule in Employee Central. We have a use case where upon an employee's termination, we need to delimit any recurring deductions using their termination date as the effective date. For example, if an employee's termination date is 01 July 2023, then I want this business rule to create a record effective 01 July 2023 and delimit any recurring deduction they have. We have a similar rule in place to delimit certain recurring payments and now we want to do the same for recurring deductions. I can't see recurring deduction as an object when I was trying to create a new rule. Thanks in advance. ... View more

Hello - does anyone know if the below scenario is possible.  Our Manager role contains the permissions to view the position org chart but with field level overrides. We have a unique situation where we are trying to exclude visibility to the job pay grade attribute on the position org chart just for our Managers (people leaders). I've created a new position added access to the position org chart with view access to the position (miscellaneous permission) with the field level override of job pay grade (no access). My hope is that this new role applied to the Manager role will exclude the position attribute but based upon my testing its not working that way. It appears the position attribute is based on role and not person. Is there any other way around this situation?  ... View more

Hello, I do see that there is a switch to add to the goal plan XML to set a cascader role.  And the cascade role may have permissions to write goal plan fields.  However, I cannot find any documentation that explains what fields can be edited by someone that received a cascaded goal.  This is possible for team goals using the cascade-update attribute for goal fields and wasn't sure something like this can be possible for cascaded goals. ...

The new Global header available in SuccessFactors has not been designed for visually impaired people in order to notice any information in Global Header they have to zoom to 200% in order to notice the details.

Hello Experts, I am trying to add the URL of the item completion certificate to one of my custom reports. The Data dictionary did not give me any columns that could bring in this URL. I have tried using the tables PA_CERTIFICATE_CONTENT, PA_CERTIFICATE_RESOURCE, and PA_CERTIFICATE_TEMPLATE. The LMS OData API reference guide, Section 2.11 user/userlearning-service/v1 Metadata, shows that it could bring in the certificateLink, and a user can click on it to see their certificate of completion and print it. I was wondering if the same is possible within a custom report. Bring in the certificate URL as a new column alongside the user and item details. Please let me know if this is possible. ...

Hi Experts! I was wondering if anyone can help me with this. The purpose is to allow employees to have negative Vacation Balance. However, the negative threshold will be determined by the employee's pay grade. I created a time type for this and a Time Account Type in which configuration I set 'Balance cannot fall below' to -100 so that this option is available. So I created the following rule to define the actual limit for negative balance by Pay Grade. I tested it with several employees and the rule is activated and working, but the calculations are not correct. How should the rule be constructed? Thanks! ... View more

Hello, We are non-EC customer. This is more of a permissions question than I have realized that handling inactive users is not the same as Employee Central. If we talk about Variable Pay plans then I do not see a way to give permission for inactive users and activer users. Its either All employees which will give access to inactive users as well as active users Or for only active users. Becasue of this reason I have to give all employees permission which is way extra than the planner should get. If I don't do all employees while creating permission group then system won't take inactive users. Have you come across similar issue? How did you handle it?   Thanks, Pankaj ... View more

Hi SF Experts, Can anyone explain the purpose of Nomination and Successor portlets in Employee Profile and when they are used? We have MDF position nomination method used in the company and used SoC to add successors to positions. In parallel we have Successor and Nomination portlets enabled in Employee profile (sysScoreCardSuccessorPortlet and sysScoreCardNominationPortlet.) where users also can add nominations to positions. What we noticed that when we add nominations in Nomination portlet (which I supposed nomination of users to positions), these nominations are not visible at position level in SoC. Does anyone know when these two portlets are used? Why nominations from Nomination portlet may not be reflected in SoC on the position object? Ideally I would prefer to have one place where nominations are made e.g. SoC and can be reflected but not edited in Employee Profile. Thank you Anastasia ... View more

With the H1 2023 Release it was announced that observers for task checklists could be added via the mobile app. However, the "add observer" button only gives you a pop-up message, that observers could be added via a web browser.

We heavily rely on the mobile app and this functionality in particular. It's confusing how a new feature is announced and then not implemented, without giving further helpful information. ...

Hi Experts. I want to make possible for the employees to have access to the accrual Vacation balance from the next year.

Hello Everyone, We wish to integrate SAP SuccessFactors Learning with MS Viva Learning, but there is a concern about Learner Record Sync and would like clarify how the integration package would handle. (1) Supposed we know from the below article that Viva Learning synchronizes the associated learner records with the help of PERSON_ID_EXTERNAL data and tries to match with the employeeID attribute in AAD, allowing Viva Learning to fetch user information, user assignments, and completed courses. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/viva/learning/sfsf-enable-learning-record-sync?view=o365-worldwide (2) And, we know from the below article that course completion records for content consumed in Viva Learning will sync back with SAP SuccessFactors Learning. https://blogs.sap.com/2021/11/02/place-learning-in-the-flow-of-work-by-leveraging-integrations-of-sap-successfactors-learning-and-microsoft/ However, while one person can only have one PERSON_ID_EXTERNAL (External ID), that person can have multiple UserIDs (because of multiple employment or rehire) in both EC and LMS. When the person has multiple employments with different UserIDs and if that person completes a learning in Viva Learning, how will the package determines which UserID will be synced with the complete learning history, given the point (1) mentioned above? Does anyone has experience in this matter? Thank you! 🙂 Regards, Max ... View more

Hi all, we have just gone live using Workforce Software (WFS) as our new Time and Attendance system. To monitor the integration errors, we have to use the Execution Manager > Middleware Integrations. The problem with this is that you get an individual file of each error when the integration runs, but there is no option to get a list of all the current errors in one place. The error log directly in WFS is even worse. I raised a ticket and they advised this was not possible and to put in an influence request, which I have here - 303024. If you could vote that would be great. For anyone else using this, have you found a different way to get what you need? Many thanks! ... View more
