The following are required to be enabled in Provisioning by an SAP SuccessFactors implementation consultant before enabling Onboarding:
There are currently two Onboarding products in SAP SuccessFactors (SF): Onboarding 1.0 is the older version and Onboarding is the newer version.
The table below explains several key Onboarding features in Onboarding 1.0, the equivalent feature in Onboarding, and the benefit of the newer feature.
| Onboarding 1.0 Feature | Onboarding Equivalent | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Compliance Bundles | Compliance – UK, Australia, US and Canada | Continued support of current countries: US, UK, Australia, India, and Canada |
| RCM-ONB-EC Mapping | Recruit to Hire Mapping Tool | A single mapping step, reuse of EC entities eliminates the need for ONB → EC mapping |
| API (SOAP) | Integration Center/OData API | Best practice integration tools |
| Document Center | Document Management Service (partner document management service of SF Attachment Framework) | Client choice for document storage, all HR documents in one place (Platform, Recruiting, Onboarding, and Employee Central) |
| Click-to-Sign/DocuSign | SF e-Signature/DocuSign | Best-of-breed e-Signature solutions |
| I9/E-Verify | I9/E-Verify | Continued support for the most important US employment compliance processes. |
| Employee Portal (Sharepoint) | Enhanced Home Page Cards and Media Service | Flexibility and choice in where to put Pre-Day 1 content for a new hire. |
| Pre Day 1 Temporary User | External User | External user is a secure way to provide access to Onboarding content within SuccessFactors before the start date. |
| Hiring Manager Activities | RBP Driven Onboarding Tasks | Clients have the flexibility to assign individual tasks to a role rather than having everything automatically assigned to the hiring manager. |
| Data Privacy, ONB-specific | Data Privacy (PLT/EC tools) | Reuse of existing privacy tools to manage Onboarding data. |
| Crossboarding | Internal Hire Process | Continued support for Crossboarding scenarios and processes. |
| Offboarding (basic process) | Strategic Offboarding | Offboarding (OFB) should be conceived not just as a series of automated tasks to withdraw an employee but as a spiral mechanism that strengthens the organization with better intelligence and provides a widening network of opportunities for the future. |
| Contingent Workforce Support Not Available | Support for Contingent Workforce | Net new enhancement for Onboarding. |
| Mobile: limited to DocuSign and Pre-Day 1 users, just New Hire | Mobile Responsive, Digital Assistant | All users have access to Onboarding via multiple devices and channels. SAP SF eSignature also supports mobile devices through mobile browsers. |
| Different Reporting Tools, incomplete data | People Analytics – Stories | All Onboarding Data reportable in one place. |
| Concurrent Employment Support Not Available | Support for Concurrent Employment | Employees with one or more future-dated concurrent employments can view and complete all assigned onboarding tasks using Onboarding. |
