SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central is built on an effective-dated data model. Each data change with a unique effective date is treated as a separate and distinct transaction, creating a new "time slice" in the employee's record. The first transaction for January 15 and the second for January 30 are seen by the system as two independent, valid events. Consequently, a separate workflow is triggered for each transaction. The system is designed to manage multiple future-dated changes concurrently, so both workflows will proceed through their respective approval processes independently without canceling or rejecting one another.

A. The system will reject both workflows.

This is incorrect because the system is designed to handle multiple, non-conflicting, future-dated transactions for the same employee.

B. The system will cancel the second workflow.

This is incorrect. A later-dated transaction does not invalidate a previously initiated one; it simply creates a new data record for a future date.

C. The system will cancel the first workflow.

This is incorrect. A future-dated transaction does not retroactively cancel a pending transaction with an earlier effective date.

1. SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Documentation - Implementing Employee Central Core:

Section: "Employee Data and Effective-Dating"

Content: This guide explains that Employee Central entities are effective-dated. It details how changes to an employee's data create new time slices with specific start dates. The system stores a complete history

allowing multiple future-dated records to exist simultaneously. This foundation confirms that two changes with different effective dates (Jan 15 and Jan 30) are stored as two distinct records.

2. SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Documentation - Implementing and Managing Workflows in SAP SuccessFactors:

Section: "How Workflows are Triggered"

Content: This documentation specifies that workflows are triggered by events

such as saving changes to an employee's Job Information or Compensation Information. Since two separate "save" events occur for two different effective dates

the system logically triggers two independent workflows

one for each event. There is no standard logic described that would cause one workflow to cancel the other in this scenario.
