Symptom
- What is the expected behaviour for "Enable Leave of Absence Editing" setting on time management configuration object.
- How does the Leave of Absence (LOA) job information record (created via Time Off) change with this setting?
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Time Off
Resolution
- Firstly, to view the field on the Time Management Configuration object in Manage Data, you need to set the field 'enableLOAediting' to 'editable' in:
- Configure Object Defintion > Time Management Configuration > enableLOAediting
When the "Enable Leave of Absence Editing" is set to "No" in Time Management Configuration:
LOA job information record in job history (created via time off):
- All job information fields are editable except the following fields: Effective start date, event, event reason, expected return date
- Not deletable (means no Delete option available)
When "Enable Leave of Absence Editing" set to "Yes" in Time Management Configuration:
LOA job information record in job history (created via time off):
- All fields are editable.
- Can be deleted (Delete option is available)
For imports:
- When you use Job information import to update the LOA records, the validations are still called and will not allow the update.
- The update of Job information records is only possible using Job history update via the UI.
