Reproducing the Issue
1. Go to an employees' profile;
2. Make changes to time recording variant and/or other associated fields in job information portlet;
3. Observe the error:
Cause
There are leave bookings after the effective date of the Job Information change that are not consistent with the new time information fields.
Resolution
To make the change, all the leave bookings after the effective date of the change should be cancelled. After cancelling the leave bookings, the changes can be made and the employee needs to book the leaves again on the cancelled days, as per the new time information.
