SAP Successfactors Employee Central Mass Change Feature

SUCCESS FACTORS EMPLOYEE CENTRAL :: Mass Change Functionality

Mass Changes is a tool for HR Administrators to manage changes to employees' job information and job relationships for any user-defined selection of employees. It allows users to efficiently execute changes to employees' attributes due to manager reassignments, or reorganizations affecting large numbers of employees. Example: The HR Manager responsible for 40 employees is replaced by another person. All engineers decentralized in several departments are being centralized in a newly created unit.
The user defines a mass change in a screen consisting of:
● An employee selection using a group definition tool similar to the one that are used for permissions.
● The effective date that determines when the determined changes should take effect.
● The list of fields to be changed, including their new value.
The mass change definition can then be saved and initiated immediately or saved and initiated later. Initiating a mass change creates a background job that is scheduled for immediate execution. After mass change has run, a new status is set, dependent on the result. In the event of errors, the user can access a log to analyze the changes that failed.
