Hi Team,

Make sure the property sn_hr_core.profile_field_exclusion is correctly set. Go to HR Profile > Synchronization Configurations. Look for any custom business rules, script includes, or custom logic that is overriding the exclusion. Verify Field Mapping Table: Navigate to the Field Mapping [sn_hr_core_profile_field_mapping] table. Check if there’s a mapping from HR Profile.location to User.location. If so, try deactivating or removing it. Then test to update the HR Profile location and verify if it still syncs to the user profile.

I didn't find the "Field Mapping Table: Navigate to the Field Mapping [sn_hr_core_profile_field_mapping] table,HR Profile > Synchronization Configurations

HR Profile.location  --- hr profile  =user.location  and user profile  = location

Make sure the property sn_hr_core.profile_field_exclusion is correctly set. Go to HR Profile > Synchronization Configurations and verify if any custom logic (like business rules, script includes, or Flow Designer flows) is overriding this exclusion behavior.

Next, validate the Field Mapping Table:
Navigate to the table sn_hr_core_profile_field_mapping.
Look for a mapping like

HR Profile Location → User.Location

If this mapping exists, it will continue syncing the field even if it's excluded via the property, since field mappings take precedence. Try deactivating or removing that mapping. Then test again by updating the HR Profile location field and observe if it still syncs to the User record.
