3266438 - Add new employee ID sequence in Add New Hire to Onboarding tool - Onboarding

A Rule to generate next employee/person id is configured under Manage Data > Recruit/Rehire Configuration, and DEFAULT_ONB2_CONFIG but the system is not following the Rule sequence.

SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding

1. Initiate candidate via Add New Hire to Onboarding
2. Leave "Add new employee ID" unticked
3. System follows the sequence in Next Person ID under Company Systems and Logo Settings and not the Rule configured

This is an expected behavior. The rule will only trigger if the initiation happened via Recruiting Management.

See Onboarding Implementation Guide: Configuring Business Rule for Custom User ID and Employee ID Format in Onboarding

NOTE:

This business rule is honored only when the new hire is onboarded from SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting.

If you are using an external Applicant Tracking System or if you are onboarding the new hire manually, you'll need to add the user ID/employee ID manually before initiating onboarding. In case a value for the ID is not provided, the user ID and employee ID are generated based on the default configuration for the company.
