3375776 - Rule is not triggering to candidates with future dates in hire date - Onboarding

Symptom

A rule to send is not being triggered to candidates with hire date in the future. 

The hire date is not a rule condition.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding

Reproducing the Issue

  1. In a demo/test instance create the same rule 
  2. Configure both exactly the same as the production scenario
  3. Execute the action that have to trigger the rule for a test candidate
  4. The rule is not triggered

 

Cause

The Business rule was configured using and future dated Employee Central  (EC) entity, for rule evaluation. (Example: job info.company)

This is a current limitation where we cannot fetch future dated EC entity records through business rules since the rule is always executed with Today as the effective start date

Currently we only support today as effectiveStartDate during rule evaluation and hence the jobInfo entity for future dated onboardees are skipped and the Email is not sent.

For the past dated Onbordees the email will be sent. 

Resolution

Workaround: Remove the condition that have the future dated Employee Central Entity.
