Reproducing the Issue

  1. Candidate declines signature
  2. Process is sent back to PDC step
  3. Candidate completes steps again and signs forms
  4. Candidate should now be available in manage pending hires but is not

Cause

  1. Process Variant Manager has Document flow and Compliance flow in parallel
  2. The candidate declined signature
  3. In case of decline the candidate completes the PDC, CDC, document flow and compliance 2 times.
  4. Because of the parallel task workflow is not getting completed and onboarding status is not updated to Ready to Hire, hence candidate does not appear in MPH.
  5. This is bug is identified by engineering and only occurs if candidate declines signature and process variant manager has parallel tasks with document flow.

    2. Restart the onboarding process.
