- BPE Error message: "xxxx is not the expected value for Employee Subgroup because you selected Employee Group. Please select a valid Employee Subgroup or select a different value for Employee Group."
Environment
-
SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding
Reproducing the Issue
- Initiate onboarding for a candidate.
- Observe that the candidate does not appear on the onboarding dashboard.
- The error in Business Process: "xxxx is not the expected value for Employee Subgroup because you selected Employee Group. Please select a valid Employee Subgroup or select a different value for Employee Group."
Cause
- Mapping issue between the employee group and the employee subgroup in RCM. The incorrect option ID for employee subgroup was mapped, which caused the Business Process Engine (BPE) error.
Resolution
- Verify the mapping for the employee group and employee subgroup.
- Go to Picklist Center, search employmentType picklist, confirm the parent value of employee subgroup is the mapped employee group.
- Correct the employee subgroup mapping in RCM by ensuring the valid option ID for the employee subgroup is selected.
- Restart the BPE error by navigating to the home page, To-Do tile, Business Process.
- Confirm that the candidate now appears on the Onboarding Dashboard without errors.
