Symptom
- Challenges in initiating the onboarding process for Legal Entity Transfer (LET) scenarios directly in SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding without using Recruiting.
- Desired process involves future-dated termination, manual onboarding initiation, rehire checks, completion of onboarding tasks, and rehire in MPH, which is not supported by the standard system behavior.
- SAP documentation specifies that LET initiation is only supported via Recruiting, not directly in Onboarding.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding
Reproducing the Issue
- Create a future-dated termination for an employee in Employee Central.
- Attempt to manually initiate onboarding with a start date equal to the termination date +1.
- Perform rehire checks and accept as Rehire with New Employment.
- Complete onboarding tasks such as PDC, ADC, HM tasks, compliance tasks, etc.
- Rehire the employee in MPH upon completion of all steps.
Cause
The standard system behavior does not support direct initiation of onboarding for Legal Entity Transfer scenarios from Employee Central. Legal Entity Transfer initiation is only supported via Recruiting.
Resolution
- Follow the standard system design for LET initiation, which requires onboarding to be triggered through Recruiting.
- Direct initiation from Employee Central is not supported for LET scenarios.
- Refer to SAP documentation for the correct process of initiating LET via Recruiting: https://help.sap.com/docs/successfactors-onboarding/implementing-onboarding/initiating-legal-entity-transfer-from-sap-successfactors-recruiting?locale=en-US&version=LATEST
