3739768 - Provide Personal Data Step missing after Rehire with New Employment

Symptom

  • Personal Data Collection step is not generated in the Onboarding dashboard after a Rehire with New Employment process.
  • The onboarding process is created, but the first step, “Provide Personal Data,” is not triggered.

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Initiate a Rehire with New Employment process.
  2. Open the Onboarding dashboard.
  3. Observe that the first task “Provide Personal Data” is missing for the onboardee.

Cause

The ONB2_CREATE_USERNAME business rule is configured as “always true,” causing the system to assign a username taken from an inactive EC profile, which conflicts with an existing username and prevents task creation.

Resolution

  • Review the ONB2_CREATE_USERNAME business rule in the Onboarding configuration.

  • Update the rule to prevent assigning usernames that already exist or are associated with inactive profiles.

  • Add a condition to set the Username/User ID only when the field is null.

  • Add logic specific to the New Hire process to ensure unique username generation.

  • Ensure that Person IDs from inactive profiles are not reused.

  • Save and validate the business rule changes.

  • Restart the failed onboarding task/process from the Onboarding Dashboard or the relevant administration tool.

  • Test the changes using a new rehire scenario.

  • Verify that the "Provide Personal Data" step is generated successfully.

  • Confirm that no username conflict errors occur.
