2763259 - Dynamic Break Handling: Minimum Break Deduction on Absences

Symptom

As of the 1H2019 release, the system behavior for minimum break deduction has been changed. There was an issue where breaks, according to the dynamic break rule, could not overlap with absence records because a collision check would prohibit such breaks from being generated. 

Environment

Employee Central, Time Sheet

Resolution

From 1H2019, dynamic breaks which are overlapping with absence records will be generated automatically.

  • Dynamic breaks over absences will be generated if and only if a dynamic break rule is active for that day.
  • However, fixed / scheduled breaks will not be generated over absences, as before.
  • The collision check will allow system-generated breaks overlapping absences. However, manual breaks are still not allowed.
  • Deletion of such generated dynamic breaks will lead to a re-creation of the breaks.

As of 2H2023 release, it is possible to prevent the auto-generation of scheduled or dynamic breaks for Time Tracking customers. SAP Help Guide: Prevent Generation of Breaks
