DRTMRCMApplicationPurgeObjectType while trying to invoke the method java.lang.Long.longValue() of a null object returned from com.successfactors.rcmoffer.bean.offerdetail.OfferDetailBean.getOfferTemplateId()

Cause

When users are inactivated, offer related templates will be removed.

The  when an application purge is requested by the DRTM sceduled job, while removing associated offer approval details it tries to look for the form templates which are already removed by the inactive user action, and hence it throws that appears in the report.
But this does not stop the purging.

Resolution

The general recommendation is reassign the Offer Approval before a user is going to be disabled:

Admin Center > Reassign Offer Approvals
