Symptom
Custom notification templates using document generation is not sent instead standard email is received
Environment
- SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Workflows
- SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Document Generation
Reproducing the Issue
Prerequisite:
- Is delegate supported is set to YES in the workflow
- Remind in days is set to at least "1"
- Create a doc gen template and assign the template under workflow email configuration
Steps:
In our example: leave request
- Employee "X" enables auto delegation to "Y" , when direct reportee of employee "X" submits leave request, workflow triggers to employee "Y" for approval who receives standard template instead of custom template.
- when system sends the reminder pending approval mail , delegatee "Y" receives Custom notification template
Resolution
- Currently , this is an expected behavior due to product limitation.
- Delegation action does not support Document Generation template, it includes initiator getting delegation email, delegatee getting pending email, decline & revoke delegation.
- All about delegation will get standard email template. And reminder notification is a backend job which will send workflow action pending notification with prefix "Reminder" in the subject of the mail based on the configuration in the workflow.
