Hi Rohit,

Hello Rohit,

As per the error it clearly states you need to have below

externalCode is a required field/association in Object Senior Manager Lookup

In successfactors goto Odata API data dictionary.Navigate to entity you are looking for and look out for this field.If it of type Picklist check with your SFSF consultant to give your export of Picklist and then use externalCode value of the field which you want to pass.
