Deprecation of Insurance Related Fields
Deprecated Required Automatically On Impact: High AI Enriched
Description

The Insurance related fields in Benefit objects have reached End of Development on June 2, 2023 and will be Deleted on May 14, 2027. After this date, the Story reports, APIs, Business Rules, and Integrations that refer to such fields will stop working. We have moved these fields into new benefit objects.See More

Detailed Description

The Insurance-related fields that previously existed within the Benefit object have been moved to new dedicated benefit objects (such as InsuranceBenefitDetails) to prevent performance issues caused by consolidating all benefit fields in one object. The old fields in the Benefit object have reached End of Development on June 2, 2023 and will be deleted on May 14, 2027. Both old and new API paths remain operational until the deletion date, after which only the new API paths will work.

Impact Assessment

All Story reports, APIs, Business Rules, and Integrations that reference insurance-related fields from the old Benefit object will stop working after May 14, 2027. Customers must identify all references to the deprecated fields and migrate to the new object paths (e.g., InsuranceBenefitDetails). The detailed mapping of old to new navigation paths and field names is provided in the SAP documentation, covering fields such as insuranceType, nomineeRelevant, decimalPrecisionSettingForContributionAmount, and insurancePlans.

Test Recommendations
• Audit all Story reports that reference insurance-related fields in the Benefit object and identify those requiring migration • Audit all Business Rules and Integrations referencing deprecated insurance fields in the Benefit object • Map each deprecated field to its new equivalent in InsuranceBenefitDetails using the SAP-provided navigation path table • Update OData API calls to use the new API paths (e.g., /Benefit(...)/insuranceBenefitDetails?$select=insuranceType) • Test that updated Story reports, APIs, and business rules return correct data using the new object paths • Validate integration scenarios end-to-end after updating to new API endpoints
