Hello Karthik,

• If the supervisor value is being populated on save, then the order of the business rules assigned matters. Try assigning the business rule which populates the supervisor value before the one that is giving the error and check if that works.
• If your requirement is that the manager gets the error when the email type is set as business (on change) not on save, then the job information section should be filled before the email information section.

In any case, I can give you more suggestions, if you can provide the rule trace of this rule.

Hello @karthik1gobburu ,

To achieve the desired result as per your requirement you can create business rule as attached:

You need to

• Create one variable for Login User.
• In the IF part of the business rule, you need to check the value of the Supervisor (Is Manager?) field for the logged-in user. If the Supervisor value is set to "Yes" for the logged-in user, then he/she is considered a manager, and this logic will produce the desired result.

I believe this solution meets your requirement.

Hello @MRUTYUNJAY

Do we need a custom  field called "Is manager? in Job Information portlet? and maintain yes/no for all employees?

The problem for my customer we donot have any such field.

Please advice

Hello @JonasCosta.

My exact requirement is like this...

If a Manager goes to ADD NEW EMPLOYEE >> Goes to Email type as "Business" then system show an error message that "Managers are not allowed to select emailtype as business"

But when others ( like HR / superadmin) do the same no error should be shown. 

The above scenario is to restrict managers from entering business emails.

Please advice on this.

MRUTYUNJAY Unfortunately i dont have any field "is manager" in Position . Any other alternate solution u have?

[MRUTYUNJAY]

Karthik ,the above solution does not require any custom field. It's based on a function "Get Number of Child Position()"

Hi @karthik1gobburu 

Let me know if I understand what you need?

You need to identify the manager when he do a change and, if them so you shows an alert message, rght?

If yes, you can user this function to do it:

It means that when the login user (or current user depending of your scenery) be in a specific "Manager Permission Group", the system will trigger your message.

Note that 1) you need to define the correct scenery for your requirement to obtain the expected behavior, 2) on your printscreen you shows the "Basic Scenery", please note that this scenery will be depreciate by SAP, so it is not recommended to use it on your rules.

I hope that this could helped you.

Best Regards,

JC
