Symptom
There is a new feature to have a flexible date for Account Creation Start Date.

Environment
SAP Successfactors - Employee Central Time off
Reproducing the Issue
In Time Off, Hire Date and Fixed Dates (month and day) are the only configurable options for account creation currently. Cusotmer requirements were to have a flexible date like 'Seniority Date' as the start date of the Time Accounts.
Before 1708: There have been two configuration options to set the Account Creation Start Date for recurring time accounts: Based on hire/recruit date and based on fixed date.
After 1708: There is a third option now where the user can configure a user specific time account start date based on a rule at the time account type: Employee Flexible Start Date
Resolution
- In Admin Center -> Manage Business Rule, create a rule as shown below using the option 'Flexible Account Start Date'. (In the rule I am setting the Time Account's start date as the seniority date)
