2162317 - How to Create Time Accounts in Employee Central Time Off

Symptom

This KBA provides the basic steps and configuration required to create a time account in Employee Central Time Off.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Time off

Resolution

Prerequisites

  • Time Type - For each absence type, individual time type configuration must be created.
  • Time Account Type - For every time type, time account type must be created and assigned under Time Account Posting Rules on time type. 
  • Time Profile - After time account types are assigned to the time type, time types should be assigned on a time profile, which then needs to be assigned on employee's job information.

Time Type

Time Account Type

  • Create Time Account Type by following the relevant configurations mentioned in Time Account Type
  • Link the Time Account Type to the 'Time Account Posting Rules' section of the previously created Time Type.

Time Profile

  • Create Time Profile by following the relevant configurations mentioned in Time Profile
  • Add the Time Type to the 'Available Time Type' section of the Time Profile.

Assign the Time Profile and other Time information to the Job Information of the employee.

Note: Do not create recurring or permanent time accounts manually (using an MDF import or oData). They are created automatically when you assign a time profile to an employee’s job information and also during the account creation calendar run (Admin Tools -> Manage Time off Calendar)

 

FAQ - Additional Information

Q) Is there any way to test if the time accounts will get automatically created when expected? based on the "Account Creation Offset [Months]"?

A) No, you can't check this in advance. If account creation automation setting is enabled, and you set the field to "Account Creation Offset [Months]" to "3" for example, the accounts should get created with an automatic account creation calendar, 3 months before the "Account Valid From" date.
