2698630 - Terminated users with pending Job Requisitions or Offer Approvals

A user that is part of an approval pipeline (either Job Requisition or Offer) is terminated and now, it is no longer possible to proceed with the document/form approval pipeline.

There is currently no system validation that denies a user purge if this user is tied to any document approval. If a user is removed under this condition, a workaround will need to be performed to reassign the approval.

Please keep in mind that the newly deleted user will not be able to approve any document, as well as this it will also not be possible to have any approval routed to another (active) user, while the newly deleted user is still inactive.

• A possible workaround would be reactivating the just newly deleted user for a short period. With this user active once again,you can have the pending approval routed to another user or you can just approve/decline the referred form. After whichever action is taken, you can then terminate the user again. This should take no longer than 5 minutes to be performed and requires no action from Support.
• It is also possible to have a brand new Job Requisition created (that could also be ONLY internally posted), so you may have a new approval pipeline set or have a candidate "re-applying" to it and have a new offer (also, with another approval pipeline set) sent to him/her.

Based on these possible approaches, please understand that such issues will not be handled as very high priority cases. As per Support case Prioritization Guidelines, scenarios that have one or more workarounds do not qualify as Very High priority case.
