Symptom
You are simulating a Period End Processing (PEP) calendar but, upon downloading the job response, an empty csv file is returned.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Time Off
Reproducing the Issue
- Navigate to Admin Tools> Manage Time Off Calendars > Choose "Period End Processing" as "Change Scenario".
- Create a new calendar and simulate it.
- Go to Scheduled Job Manager > Download the simulated file and observe that the file is empty.
Cause
Booking end date is not falling within the calendar period.
Resolution
Criteria for picking a Time Account during PEP simulation is that the Booking end date must fall in calendar period.
For example, I have a 2024 Vacation account with below details:
- Time Account Start date - 01/01/2024
- Time Account End Date - 31/12/2024
- Booking Possible Until Date - 31/03/2025
Here the Booking Possible until date is 31/3/2025. Therefore, make sure that the Booking Possible Untill Date is falling in between the PEP calendar's start date and end date.
- PEP calendar start date 31/12/2024 and end date 31/5/2025: Correct --->31/3/2025 is falling between PEP calendar start and end date
- PEP calendar start date 01/01/2024 and end date 31/12/2024: Wrong ---> 31/3/2024 is not falling between PEP calendar start and end date, hence 2024 accounts will not be considered for this run.
