Enhanced Picklist Mapping from Recruiting to Employee Central We’ve enhanced the picklist mapping from Recruiting to Employee Central based on the Option ID. This enhancement provides consistent integration with Onboarding because Option IDs are unique system-generated codes. In the current version, mapping for the Recruiting picklist is done using Option ID if there’s an exact match in Employee Central. If there isn’t an exact match, mapping is done using the Label in Employee Central with the picklist Label fetched from Recruiting. The matched labels are mapped again with the external code. If the [external ](https://www.lorenzo-datasolutions.com/sap-successfactors-training-in-hyderabad/) code for the picklist doesn’t match, then the first matching Label in Recruiting is passed to Employee Central.
