2673957 - Onboarding Activity Re-Assigned to a Random Assignee/User - Onboarding 1.0

• The Onboarding activity is re-assigned to a random assignee/user automatically after completing New Employee Step (NES).
• The Orientation Step is assigned to a random user.  

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding

1. The Candidate Completes the New Employee Step and Activity is moved to Orientation Step.
2. Orientation Step is assigned to a different user as expected.

Due to the assign option in the process Onboarding activity is automatically re-assigned to a random assignee/user. See below for more details.

The OS_AssigneeUserId is added as the assign option key to receive the activity and Orientation Manager is not enabled in Onboarding Back-End. Hence, it will follow the second assign option which is auto.

NOTE:

• The panel SAP_Standard_OrientationManagerSetup will not be available if Orientation Manager is not enabled and the key OS_AssigneeUserId will not be generated.
• Assignee Options are different to every customer.

There are different ways to rectify this incorrect configuration and below is the solution:

1. Enable Orientation Manager in Onboarding Back-End. After enabling the feature, the panel SAP_Standard_OrientationManagerSetup will show in Post-Hire Verification Step (PHV) and Assignee in PHV will be able to add the Orientation Step (OS) Assignee.
2. Remove the OS_AssigneeUserId in Assign Option in the Orientation Step of the Process and replace it with a role or specific person to receive the activity as Assignee

NOTE:

• Since this is a configuration, this type of changes might alter your business requirements set by your implementation partner. 
• Only SAP Professional Services, Implementation Partners, and SAP Cloud Product Support can have access to SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding Back-End (Super Admin).
