3310085 - Onboarding process not initiating correctly due to invalid Process Variant error- Onboarding

Symptom

  • Onboarding process is not initiating correctly and the process variant is blank on Manage data.
  • Error from BPE Monitor Process: Select Variant Error Task
  • When I start onboarding, the process variant is blank or missing (Manage Data shows no variant), so the process never initiates.
  • The BPE Monitor puts my candidate into a “Select Variant Error Task” (variant selection error), and onboarding stalls.
  • Even when onboarding triggers, tasks don’t get created or managed correctly because the assigned process variant isn’t active or isn’t assigned.
  • My configuration seems off—rules/conditions (e.g., for specific statements like physical demand) don’t match, so the system can’t pick a valid variant.
  • Onboarding fails to execute due to inactive/unassigned variants and misconfiguration, leaving candidates stuck and the process not progressing.
