Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management
Reproducing the Issue
- Log in as the Recruiter
- Access Manage Pending Hire via Admin Center
- Try to Hire a Candidate
- An application error will appear at the end of the wizard containing an Application Error:
errorId=#######-##-###-##-#####, timestamp=2019-08-21T10:31:36.169-0400
Note: This error could also occur on the last approver step of the Hire workflow, if using workflows for Hire/Rehire.
Cause
- The required attribute in both the candidate profile template and the succession data model template does not match.
- A required field on the candidate profile is null.
Resolution
- This error message is caused by a field on the candidate profile which is set as required = "true".
- Check that all fields on the candidate profile which are marked as mandatory contain a value, remember to check all background elements.
- If all required fields contain a value, validate the candidate profile template for warning messages.
- Navigate to Provisioning -> Candidate Profile Template -> Save.
- User may see a warning stating that the required attribute of a field does not match on the candidate profile template and the succession data model template:
Warning: Required attribute of mapped data field element "school" and "school" do not match.
- User must remove this validation warning by ensuring the field has the same required attribute in both the candidate profile template and the succession data model template:
Example: It must be defined as required = "false" or required = "true" in both templates.
- Remove all validation warnings and retest the issue.
- If you do not have access to provisioning, you can also validate the candidate profile template via Manage Templates tool in Admin Center and clicking publish.
- If you do not receive any validation errors, the fields are defined correctly in both templates.
