1. Initiate Onboarding for the candidate from RCM
2. Candidate is not available in the Onboarding Dashboard
3. User Validation error in BPE Tile "We were unable to generate user id. Check your business rules or field mapping configuration and try again."

Cause 1: User Id generation via rule is dependent on the Company Object. If the field "Legal Entity/Company" is associated directly with its Object in Recruit to Hire Data Mapping then we will observe that the rule defined to generate the User Id will fail.

The rule does not recognize the external code of the Legal Entity when we pass the value from Recruiting to Onboarding, because if the object field is mapped in Recruit to Hire Data Mapping, the internal code is sent rather than the external code

Cause 2: Rule is configured as "Employee Information.Job Information.Event Reason.Event is equal to Hire" but Event Reason is not mapped or not passing from Recruiting.

Perquisites:

• Creating Sequence Object Entity for Custom ID Generation 
• Configuring Business Rule for Custom User ID and Employee ID Format in Onboarding
• Associating Business Rule for Custom User ID and Employee ID with Onboarding Configuration Object

Solution 1:

• Define a custom text field in job requisition template, populate it with external code of the desired Legal-Entity and map it to jobInformation > Company field in Recruit to Hire Data Mapping Tool instead of object field mapped currently from the Recruit-to-Hire Data Mapping Tool

Step 1: Verify the existing mapping in Recruit to Hire Data Mapping Tool if the field "Company/Legal Entity" is associate with "Legal Entity Object (legalEntity_obj)"

Step 2: Go to Manage Templates and chose the desired Job Requisition Template. Kindly create a custom text field in the Job Requisition Template to store the object value internal code that is passed from RCM to ONB.

Step 3: Set a rule to associate the custom field created in the Job Requisition Template to the external code of the Company/Legal Entity

Step 4: Add this rule to the respective Job Requisition in Manage Rules in Recruiting under "Save Rules"

Step 5: Change the field mapping for Company Object under Job Information in Recruit to Hire Data Mapping

After the above mentioned steps are completed, complete an ODataefresh and then restart the affected candidate from the Business Process Tile.

Solution 2: We recommend you to follow approach presented on implementation guide: Configuring Business Rule for Custom User ID and Employee ID Format in Onboarding, otherwise we suggest you to contact Partner channels, in order to configure a custom rule which might work for your business requirement.

If the scenario is the very same presented on cause, then we would recommend you to Map and pass Event Reason from Recruiting accordingly.
