Symptom
- Final Review step is assigned to fewer users than expected
- Not all users from the responsibility group are visible in the workflow step
- Example: Only 2 users are assigned instead of 4 configured users
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding
Reproducing the Issue
- Configure a responsibility group with multiple users (e.g., 4 users)
- Assign the group to the Final Review step in onboarding process
- Initiate onboarding for a candidate
- Navigate to the Final Review step
- Observe that only a subset of users are assigned
Cause
This behavior occurs due to the current configuration of the Responsibility Group.
- The system assigns users based on the active configuration in:
- Manage Data → ResponsibilityConfig
- Onboarding General Settings → Responsible Users
- If only a subset of users is maintained in the responsibility group at runtime, only those users will be assigned to the step
- The system does not reference historical or expected configurations - only the currently configured users are considered
Resolution
1. Verify Responsibility Group Configuration
- Navigate to: Manage Data → ResponsibilityConfig
- Search for the relevant group (e.g., ONB_group)
- Confirm the list of assigned users
2. Check Onboarding Responsible Users Mapping
- Go to: Onboarding General Settings → Responsible Groups
- Search for the same group
- Verify the users maintained
3. Update Configuration (if required)
- Add the missing users to the responsibility group
- Save the changes
4. Validate
- Trigger a new onboarding process
- Confirm that all expected users are assigned to the Final Review step
Note:
- Workflow steps use the current responsibility group configuration at runtime
- Changes to the group do not retroactively update already completed or in-progress steps
- Ensure consistency between ResponsibilityConfig and Responsible Users configuration
