Symptom
- Candidate successfully lands on the onboarding dashboard when initiated from recruiting the first time.
- However, on restarting onboarding for this onboardee, a BPE tile error is observed- "An invalid legal entity null was passed. Please review the Recruit to Hire mapping and validate the value passed from Recruiting.".
- The Legal entity value has been mapped in Recruit-to-hire data mapping and has been passed correctly as seen from the suite tool
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding
Reproducing the Issue
- Initiate Onboarding from RCM, ensure that the value is passed for Legal Entity
- Candidate successfully lands on the dashboard
- Restart Onboarding for this candidate
- You will observe that candidate lands in a BPE tile error- "An invalid legal entity null was passed. Please review the Recruit to Hire mapping and validate the value passed from Recruiting."
Cause
- jobinfo.company value passed from RCM is not passed as an object
- It is mapped to a custom field of text type field as seen in the job requisition template
- "Onboarding General Settings -> Retain Onboarding Information After Manual Restart" is enabled- When a Generic Object like Legal Entity is mapped to a text field in RCM, then value to be passed should contain either be Label or Code, not both . Otherwise this creates a problem during restart based on the above configuration .
Resolution
Solution:
Please ensure that you pass either just external code(Example:120034 instead of Company_name (120034) ) or change the template definition to point to LegalEntity object instead of text field.
Workaround to fix candidate until solution is implemented:
1. Change business field in Job Req template to have only external code of Legal Entity (Example:120034 instead of Company_name (120034)).
2. Temporarily disable "Onboarding General Settings -> Retain Onboarding Information After Manual Restart"
3. Restart onboardee from Business Process Tile
4. Enable "Onboarding General Settings -> Retain Onboarding Information After Manual Restart"
