Symptom
- Need to remove unwanted workflows which is with some managers for employees who are inactive.
Environment
- SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
Resolution
- Only Initiators can decline workflows.
- Now inactive users can be searched in "Manage Workflow Requests" tool. Therefore, searching for pending workflows for inactive users is simple by using name or userid in "Requested for" field.
- Steps to delince workflows not triggered by self. Should have admin role:
- Identify the workflows associated with inactive employee. Identify all the sent back and pending workflows associated with inactive/terminated employees using advanced reporting workflow tool.
- Go to Manage Workflow Requests admin tool, and search for the workflow one by one with keywords (initiator, status, type of workflow, effective date, etc).
- For sent back workflows: Take action on the workflow as admin to change the initiator to admin (themselves). After that the option to decline workflow will appear.
For Pending workflows: Take action on the workflow as admin and decline the workflow directly.
4. Decline (Withdraw) the workflow.
