Symptom
- Onboarding Document templates are not showing for Docusign.
- The Onboarding Documents section is empty for affected onboarding processes.
- The document assignment/e‑signature task appears as Skipped in process data.
- In the rule trace, the job information country is evaluated as null while a country value exists in new hire data.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding
Reproducing the Issue
- Configure a document assignment business rule for e‑signature that evaluates the candidate’s country to assign country‑specific documents for DocuSign.
- Start onboarding for a candidate who meets the country condition.
- Open the candidate’s onboarding process and navigate to Onboarding Documents; observe that no documents are listed.
- Review process data and note the document assignment task shows status Skipped.
- Run a rule trace for the document assignment step and observe that Job Information. Country evaluates to null while the new hire data includes a country value.
Cause
- The country value was not available at the moment the document assignment rule executed (Job Information. Country evaluated as null), causing the system to skip document assignment.
Resolution
- Update the document assignment business rule to read the country directly from a reliable source object (for example, the country on the company object or the country object itself) instead of a field that may not yet be populated at rule runtime.
- Ensure the referenced country field is populated before the rule executes (avoid relying on Work Country if it is maintained later in the process).
- Restart the onboarding process for impacted candidates or initiate a new test onboarding to validate.
- Confirm that the expected documents appear in Onboarding Documents and that the e‑signature step proceeds.
