Symptom
In the current scenario, you are facing the following issues:
- "Create Employee Time" is a standard terminology for "Type-of-Action" / HRIS_ACTION whether the notification is for Pending workflow or Approval Workflow or Cancellation workflow.
- In the notification email, value for 'Effective Date'/EFFECTIVE_DATE seems to be empty.
Environment
- SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Time Off
- SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite
Reproducing the Issue
- Choose one of the email templates for workflow notifications:
- Workflow Action Cancelled Notification
- Workflow Action Approval Notification
- Workflow Action Pending Notification
- The emails being triggered accordingly where the Type of action is being populated as “Create Employee Time” the “Effective Date” seems to be empty.
Cause
Expected behavior.
Resolution
An Enhancement has been added to the list of roadmap items for Product Management to evaluate release. Team is planning to come up with a time off specific workflow template, but no date has been set as of yet.
With regards the Effective date being blank, because Employee Time is a non-effective dated MDF object, [[Effective_date]] should be blank for time off notifications. This is expected behaviour.
