Detailed Description

SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding 1.0 will reach end of maintenance on May 14, 2026, and will be permanently inaccessible after this date, with code removal scheduled for November 13, 2026. Customers must complete their migration to the new Onboarding solution before May 14, 2026 to prevent loss of functionality. Since Onboarding 1.0 and the new Onboarding module operate on different platforms with different technology, an automated migration is not possible and a full reimplementation is required.

Impact Assessment

Failure to migrate from Onboarding 1.0 before May 14, 2026 will result in loss of functionality and permanent inaccessibility of the module. Customers must plan for a complete reimplementation of the Onboarding module on the new platform, which requires significant effort and planning. No new licensing is required for existing Onboarding 1.0 customers, but organizations should engage certified implementation partners with appropriate certifications to assist with the transformation.
