Initiating the Onboarding process in SAP SuccessFactors can be done through manual actions, integrations, or automated triggers, depending on the system configuration and integration setup.

According to the SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding Configuration Guide:

Add a new hire to Onboarding in Admin Center(Option B): Administrators can manually initiate Onboarding by using theAdd New Hire to Onboardingtool in Admin Center, which creates a new onboarding record for the hire.

Initiate Onboarding from an external applicant tracking system(Option C): When integrated, external applicant tracking systems (ATS) can trigger Onboarding by transferring candidate data to SuccessFactors via APIs or middleware, typically when a candidate is marked as hired.

Initiate Onboarding from SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting(Option E): Integration with SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management allows Onboarding to be automatically initiated when a candidate is moved to theHiredstatus in the recruiting process.

Option A (Import a CSV file of new hires in Admin Center) is incorrect because there is no direct CSV import option in Admin Center specifically for initiating Onboarding records. Option D (Add a New Employee in Admin Center) is incorrect because adding an employee typically occurs in Employee Central, not as a direct trigger for Onboarding.

SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding includes several predefined business rules that automate and control various aspects of the onboarding process. These rules are configured inConfigure Business Rulesand are critical for standard process execution.

According to the SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding Implementation Guide:

ONB2_PreDay1AccessCheck(Option B): This rule determines whether new hires can access the system before their start date, controlling pre-onboarding tasks and notifications.

ONB2_ProcessClosurePeriodConfig(Option C): This rule defines the period after which an onboarding process is considered closed, automating process completion and archiving.

ONB2_InternalHire_Configuration(Option D): This rule configures settings for internal hires, such as profile selection or data transfer, ensuring proper handling of internal onboarding processes.

Option A (ONB2_Initiate_Offboarding_Configuration) is incorrect because it is not a predefined rule for onboarding; it pertains to offboarding. Option E (ONB2_Select_Onboarding_Task_Configuration) is incorrect because it is not a standard predefined rule in the system.

Adding a Final Review step in SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding ensures that all collected data is reviewed before completing the process. This step can be configured through specific tools and settings to assign responsibilities and enable the feature.

According to the SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding Implementation Guide:

Add the Final Review step using Process Variant Manager(Option A): TheProcess Variant Managerallows administrators to customize the onboarding process by adding a Final Review step, defining its tasks and sequence within the process flow.

Define a business rule using the Assign Responsible Group for Data Review(Option B): A business rule, configured inConfigure Business Rules, is used to assign the Final Review step to a responsible group (e.g., HR or hiring manager) to ensure the appropriate users review the data.

Enable Final Review in Onboarding General Settings(Option C): The Final Review step must be enabled inOnboarding General Settingsto activate it as part of the onboarding process, allowing it to be included in the process flow.

Option D (Add the task participation configuration business rule to the DEFAULT_ONB2_CONFIG) is incorrect because task participation is managed through specific rules, not theDEFAULT_ONB2_CONFIGobject. Option E (Add the Personal Data Collection step) is incorrect because Personal Data Collection is a separate step, not related to adding a Final Review step.
