Below configuration is applying to all steps excluding completed step.

  2. Do Manager/Matrix Manager change
  3. Confirm related job status in Scheduled Job Manager>Job type=Trigger Document Transfer and Change Engine
  4. Turn off change engine.
    Note: As change engine (Keep with old manager) will add freeze label to subject users' all in-progress forms, please keep it OFF after job completed.
    <freeze-user-to-role><![CDATA[true]]></freeze-user-to-role>. 

Q&A

  1. Is this solution also applying to HR manager change?
    >No, HR manager change document transfer's logic is different.
    Please refer to 2342203 - Performance Forms Not Transferring to HR Rep

  2. User has form A with freeze label and new launched form B no freeze label.
    If I change Manager/Matrix Manager again for this user, settings following Scenario 1, what will happen?
    >Form A will still keep with old Manager/Matrix Manager, form B will transfer to new Manager/Matrix Manager.
    Freeze label will keep form with original manager and can't be removed by turning off change engine.

  3. How can I remove freeze label?
    >There are two ways. Both ways can only remove one form's freeze label.
    a) Instance>modify form route map>select form> do nothing change> Save
    b) Provisioning > Modify Doc Route Map xml > remove below content> Save
     <freeze-user-to-role><![CDATA[true]]></freeze-user-to-role>.  

    Note: in order to make changes in Provisioning, please contact your Implementation Partner. If you don't have a Partner, you can find for SAP Certified Partners via the SAP Partner Finder or, alternatively, speak with your Account Executive or Customer Engagement Executive about Professional Services options.
