3321711 - Business Process Error for Internal Hire - Onboarding

Symptom

  1. Internal hire is initiated but enter Business Process tile with error
  2. Error: jobInfo : EventReasonValue for Object eventReason is not a consistent value with the associated Object Country/Region with value USA
  3. When I initiate an internal hire, the Event Reason doesn’t match the selected Country/Region, and the process fails with a Business Process error.
  4. The Business Process (BPE) tile shows errors during internal hire onboarding because the Event Reason is inconsistent with our country/region configuration.
  5. Internal hire onboarding can’t start (or stalls) due to misaligned Event Reason–to–Country/Region mappings in our setup.
  6. Employees on Leave of Absence are especially impacted—the system flags inconsistent Event Reasons for their associated Country/Region and blocks processing.
  7. Overall, our Event Reason configurations aren’t aligned to Country/Region rules, causing repeated errors and preventing smooth internal hire onboarding.
