Accrual calendar job run fails with error as seen in the backend/provisioning job: "java.lang.NullPointerException: while trying to invoke the method com.successfactors.absence.app.absencejobinfo.UserAbsenceJobInfo.getWorkSchedules() of a null object loaded from field com.successfactors.absence.app.workschedule.WorkScheduleInfo.jobInfo"

Time-Off

Step 1:Manage Time Off calendar

Step 2:Filter jobs for time account type and select date range values.

Step 3:See all the jobs fail without any jobResponse file in the Monitor Jobs admin tool.

The accrual rule attached to the time account type was not created from "Accrual" scenario of creating business rules but from some other.

For example: "Accruals On Planned Working Times" scenario as shown in the screenshot above.

The rule nowhere used the parameters of the "Planned working times variables".

Create a new accrual business rule, by selecting "Accrual" Scenario.

 Copy the same logic as in the rule and save it.

 Attach this rule to the accrual rule of the time account type.

 If required change the recruit /hire rule too.
