HDL Load for Organization DFF Error "..PER_ORGANIZATION_UNIT_DFF=Global Data attribute is unknown.."

edited Nov 10, 2025 10:59PM in HCM Data Loader (HDL) 3 comments

Summary:

I have configured Organization DFF (PER_ORGANIZATION_UNIT_DFF) named "territory", the DFF shows and updates via UI no issue.

When loading HDL as below, the error shows

"The METADATA line can't be processed because the territory(PER_ORGANIZATION_UNIT_DFF=Global Data attribute is unknown for V2 version of the Organization business object."

HDL Organization.dat rows:

METADATA|Organization|OrganizationId|EffectiveStartDate|FLEX:PER_ORGANIZATION_UNIT_DFF|territory(PER_ORGANIZATION_UNIT_DFF=Global DataMERGE|Organization|300003816962699|1901/01/01|Global Data Elements|TAA038

METADATA|OrgUnitClassification|OrgUnitClassificationId|OrganizationId|EffectiveStartDateMERGE|OrgUnitClassification|300003816962700|300003816962699|1901/01/01

The only issue I can find is the DFF is not listed in View Business Object UI for Organization BO under the Flexfield Attributes Tab, even though I refreshed the Object and Downloaded HDL template and DFF shows no issue in file Organization.dat, but doesn't show in HDL UI.

Howdy, Stranger!
