Hello,

I was wondering if there's a way you can sync the SAP location code with FIM for whenever I go to create a new user. SAP has a location code, and whenever I create a new user in FIM, I want to be able to put in that code so the Address automatically gets filled in. 

Or if that's not possible, is there a way to automatically fill in the address in FIM?

I am not sure what this attribute looks like (Long time I don't deal with SAP) but any attribute available can be mapped, I think.

They're SAP personnel area codes, like the codes are abbreviated, just how states are ex: CA for California. They are in letter forms not in numbers. If I have these codes, I can just map it by creating a new attribute for each MA right, SAP and FIM.

Yes and yes.

When I select the code in FIM, I want FIM to auto-fill the address according to that Location Code, I'm a bit confused on how I can do THAT.

Many options. 

1. Classical Rules

In this option, you need an advanced flow rule in import mapping for the attribute in question.

You can hard code the values, if the are not going to change, or put them in a sql table or flat file and read from it. 

In the code, you can simply create a select case or if else.

A Sharp snipped of If-Else handing.

If csentry["Location Code"].IsPresent and If !(csentry["Location Code"].Value.Equals (null))

If csentry["Location Code"].Value.toLower="1"

{

mventry["LocationCode"].Value = "CA"

}

else If csentry["Location Code"].Value.toLower="2"

{

mventry["LocationCode"].Value = "NY"

}

.......

.......

.......

else

{

Throw expectation ("This code is not recognized")

//Or Do something else

}

2. Codeless, you can do similar thing with a huge IIF statement.

If you can import the SAP location data via your SAP connector, and update the Person object I believe that would be the most direct.  

A common pattern here is to use a Location Object in FIMService.  On that location object you have the Location Code, and other metadata associated with the location (Address, State, country, etc.)

So when you set the location code on the FIM user,  you use an Action Workflow to look up the Location Object based on the code and update the target users attributes when it changes.

The approach all depends on your source data.
