Hi Martin,
My position is not under the Area of Responsibility but I have checked that my position has 741 relationship connected to my target OU.
For BP activation, yes, I noticed the report, too and have executed the report. I have confirmed that my target employees have central person being created.
No, I haven't done any customization on the search fields.
I don't know if this helps, but I tried to assign the employee to the talent group in SAP GUI, but what is displaying in the Launchpad is a record without the personnel number and name.
Regards,
Steven
