3448732 - Candidate is not converted - Onboarding

Symptom

The candidate completed all Onboarding steps but is still inactive in Employee Central. 

All the necessary conditions was completed:

  • The job is configured to run with recurrence. (Reference KBA 2895988)
  • In Manage Data > Process > Searching for the candidate's Onboarding Process Id (Reference KBA 3026274)
    • The Process Status is open.
    • The Task Status is open.
    • The Hire Status is set to hired.
  • The candidate's tasks is not archived (Reference KBA 3026274 . Therefore, it's important to configure the ONB2_ProcessClosurePeriodConfig with a period that is not too short to avoid closing the tasks before the start date).
  • The Hire Date needs to be before than the Target Date for the system logic. (Reference KBA 3306658)
  • The candidate's username in Onboarding needs to be unique (If duplicate profiles are identified, the job will not work). (Reference KBA 3335942)
  • The HRIS sync job also needs to be configured and run after the ConvertExternalUserOnStartDateJob. (Reference KBA 3220246)

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding

Cause

There is a process for the candidate that was pending and no longer exists in the system. In this case, the job cannot convert the candidate.

Resolution

As a workaround, please use the 'Add New Employee' option to hire this candidate directly in EC.
