Last updated by source information added to employee central history UIs

• The “last updated” by source information is now provided on records created or changed using business processes or input channels running on Centralized services. For records saved using a process enabled on Centralized services, the system now shows through which business process the last change was made, for example, imports or transferring direct reports and the records not saved using a process enabled on Centralized services, the system still shows which user last made changes on which date.
• This now allows transparency to changes of the record, especially for follow up processes such as transfer direct reports. This source information can help explain why records are created by a user who does not have direct permission for this change.
• Last updated by source details are shown for the following records saved using Centralized services:
• Job Information
• Job Relationships
• Compensation Information
• The enhanced scope of the batch job increases the chances that any necessary reassignments will be carried out automatically, without the need for any additional manual effort.

Automatic updates to insurance enrolment due to dependent eligibility changes

• The automatic updates to the enrollment status of the dependents enrolled for insurance benefit when there is a change in their eligibility. A winner! 
• For example, let us assume a child dependent is eligible for the insurance benefit only until the age of 21. After the dependent attains the age of 21, the dependent should be marked as not eligible. With this enhancement, the dependent is automatically marked as not eligible for the insurance without any manual updates to the enrollment.
• This can be reported via SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) story SF_BEN_ Dependents Ineligible (Aged out) for Insurance Benefits_v1.0.
• The feature was developed to support the customer’s requirements for identifying and marking non-eligible dependents in an enrollment automatically without the need for manual deletion of enrolled dependents.
