3792645 - Offfboarding knowledge transfer task allows completion date after termination date — Onboarding

Symptom

  • In Offboarding, the Knowledge Transfer task permits setting the Complete By/Task completion date to a date that is after the offboardee’s termination date.
  • No error message is displayed.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Log in as the user's role responsible for managing Offboarding (for example, manager).
  2. Create a Knowledge Transfer task within the Offboarding process.
  3. Set the Complete By date to a date later than the offboardee’s termination date; the system allows saving this date.

Cause

By design, the Offboarding Knowledge Transfer task supports selecting a completion date beyond the offboardee’s termination date to allow post-termination knowledge transfer activities.

Resolution

  • Currently this is expected system behaviour for Offboarding Knowledge Transfer tasks.
  • If organizational policy requires limiting task due dates to on/before termination, manage this through internal process controls and guidance by informing employees not to set the date after the termination.
  • An enhancement request can be submitted for detailed review and voting. This request may be implemented in the next product version.
