2750324 - How To Prevent Submission Of Time Sheet If Working Day Has No Recorded Time

Symptom

Requirement is to have an error raised on the timesheet UI, if the user has a working day which does not have any working time / absence recorded.

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Timesheet

SAP SuccessFactors Time Tracking

Resolution

  • The below rule works on the basis that the user enters the full weeks time data at once and then submit directly (for example every Friday they enter full week hours in the one go)
  • Rule should be added as a Validation Rule on the Time Recording Profile

Note:

  • The solution has a drawback that the error will be triggered if the attendance is removed. This will be enhanced with 1H2025 release by introducing feature "Preventing Submission of Time Sheet with Errors".

  • Allowances are not in use in the system.
