2231580 - Language of Job requisition created from Position Org Chart

Symptom

  • When we create a job requisition from position org chart, the DefaultLanguage is not correct. It show "United States" when this must be Mexico.
  • But When we create from Families and Roles, the Default Language is correct.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

Reproducing the Issue

For example, en_US is the expected default language in which we are expecting the job requisition to get created in.

                    en_GB is the default locale in which the job requisition creator (Example: REC3 ) log in the instance.
                    en_US is the default language mentioned in the job requisition template.

  1. Add default language in the job requisition template, change the default language of the job requisition creator from options.
  2. Go to Position Org Chart, create a job requisition out of an existing position.
  3. Verify the language of the job requisition is created in.

Cause

  • There is no provision to set the default language of the job requisitions created from the position org chart.
  • The default language in which the job requisition is created in, will not be the default locale of the job requisition creator but it is the default locale of SFAPI user.

Resolution

  • Internally the job requisition from position org chart is created by SFAPI, hence, the SFAPI user's default locale defines the default language in which the job requisition is created in.
  • Default Locale of the SFAPI user can be changed by performing basic import via Import Employee Data admin tool.
  • If Odata API has been used than Login User language will be considered as default language in which the job requisition is created in.
