Impact Assessment

SuccessFactors implementations that use this functionality must take action before the deletion date to avoid business disruption. End of Maintenance was May 15, 2026, meaning SAP no longer provides bug fixes or patches. The feature will be permanently removed on May 14, 2027, after which it will be completely unavailable in production. SAP recommends migrating to method for your business scenario. Implementation teams must audit current usage, communicate with stakeholders, complete the migration to the replacement solution, and test all affected business processes before the deletion date.

Test Recommendations
• Verify that the deprecated/deleted feature is no longer accessible in the test environment after the effective date. • Confirm that all business processes previously using this feature have been migrated to the replacement solution. • Run end-to-end process tests for the scenarios that previously relied on this feature to confirm continuity. • Validate that no error messages, broken links, or missing UI elements appear where the feature previously existed. • Confirm that historical data and audit logs remain accessible and intact after the feature is removed. • Validate time-off balances, accrual rules, and calendar calculations remain accurate after the update. • Test workflow routing, approval notifications, and escalation paths for all relevant scenarios. • Validate report and dashboard output accuracy against source data and prior runs.
