3617262 - Archival business rule is archiving the task before the days configured in the archival business rule.

Symptom

Offboarding processes getting archived before the days configured in the archival business rule.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding 2.0

SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Terminate the employee
  2. Offboarding process gets created
  3. Offboarding process gets archived before the days configured in the archival business rule

Cause

  1. The Required (mandatory) tasks are completed
  2. The offboarding tasks configuration is not assigned to the affected process (post termination date, the system considers this as no pending tasks in offboarding dashboard, hence changing the status to "Completed")
  3. The offboarding tasks have not been triggered (post termination date, the system considers this as no pending tasks in offboarding dashboard, hence changing the status to "Completed")

Resolution

Please make sure to complete all the offboarding steps configured in Process Variant such as Employer Data Review, etc in order to offboarding tasks to trigger, if there are no offboarding tasks triggered, after the termination date, the system fetches this process and make it eligible to change the offboarding process status to "Completed" as there are no required/mandatory offboarding tasks pending/In progress state and eventually archives the process prematurely, before the days configured in the archival business rule.

To summarize: If there are no Required (mandatory) offboarding tasks pending in the offboarding dashboard, system change the status of the process to "Completed" eventually archiving the process before the days configured in the business rule. 

Note:

How to check if the offboarding tasks is "Required"/mandatory:

  • Admin Center > Manage Onboarding and Offboarding Tasks > Offboarding Programs
  • Click on the Pencil icon in front of any offboarding program
  • Check the "Required" column
  • "Yes" means the tasks are required (if these tasks are completed or not triggered in the affected offboarding process, the system will change the status to "Completed" eventually archiving the offboarding process)

Additional Info (not relevant to this topic): The tasks which are "Required" in the Offboarding program, only these task's notification comes on assignee's/responsible user's homepage/To-Do tile.
