Symptom
- As of the 1911 release, employees can now have their Background Element data copied over to their new employment during rehire;
- Previously, Background Element data would only be maintained on the original employment and would need to be manually re-submitted after the 'Rehire with New Employment' was completed.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Profile
Reproducing the Issue
Rehiring a terminated employee and copy the Background information to the new employee id.
Resolution
When rehiring an employee with the 'New Employment' option, if the configuration switch "Forward Background Elements from Previous (Terminated) employment to next when Rehiring (with New Employment)" is enabled, the system will copy all Background Element data from the previous employment record to the new employment.
How to enable the switch, Forward Background Elements from Previous (Terminated) employment to next when Rehiring (with New Employment):
- Navigate to Manage Data
- Select Hire/Rehire Configuration
- Select MATCHUSERCONFIG
- Edit the MATCHUSERCONFIG object and change the setting of Forward Background Elements from Previous (Terminated) employment to next when Rehiring (with New Employment) to 'Yes'
Please Note: This setting is defaulted to 'No', in order to use this feature, please change the setting to 'Yes'.
