  1. Make changes to the setting of the CreateOffboardingActivity job in provisioning

ErrorCode 18: If Offboarding is deactivated in Super Admin it is necessary to be deactivated in Provisioning or this error will be triggered due to a rule (Offboarding eligibility configuration (SYS_OFB_ELIGIBILITY_CONFIG)) that is created if Offboarding is enabled in Provisioning. If the customer does not want to deactivate in Provisioning it is necessary to create a dummy condition for this rule.

  1. Go to BizX > Admin Center > Configure Business Rules
  2. Search Offboarding eligibility configuration (SYS_OFB_ELIGIBILITY_CONFIG)
  3. Edit
  4. Create a dummy condition that will never be true

This functionality will only be fully operational after PTCH-34244 that is going to be released on all environments by December 1st.
