Introduction:
When configuring the New Hire Data Review or Personal Data Collection pages in SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding, we observe that data from effective-dated custom MDF objects does not propagate correctly to Employee Central.
In some cases, the following issues may occur:
Data entered in Onboarding does not appear in the Manage Pending Hires (MPH) page.Information captured during Onboarding is missing or overwritten once the candidate is converted to an employee.Custom fields linked to effective-dated MDF objects fail to display or save values correctly in Onboarding forms.Unexpected behavior or data inconsistencies are noticed when using effective-dated entities that are originally configured in Employee Central but reused in Onboarding.Why do we see such data inconsistencies?
This behavior typically occurs because SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding supports only non-effective dated MDF objects, due to its dependency on external user context, unlike Employee Central where effective-dated entities are supported.
What is the Supported Configuration in Onboarding?Onboarding users (external candidates) do not yet have a full employee profile or time context as in Employee Central.Hence the supported type is Non-Effective Dated Custom MDF Objects only.How to add this Configuration:When defining the MDF object under Configure Object Definitions, set Effective Dating to None.Add the object to the New Hire Template → Data Review
