Cause

MDF does not allow more than one association in the CSV: these are workScheduleDays (for mode=SIMPLE) and workScheduleDayModels (for mode=PERIOD).

SAP generates a template, which contains both associations, so that you can adapt it to the one you will be using. The admin user will then have to remove the unnecessary association.

Resolution
