2773647 - How To Convert Counted Events From Minutes To Hours?

Symptom

The Counted Events time type group is persisted one DB as minutes. 
For example, BLUE_COUNTER is a Counted Event type time type group which is also a Time Pay Time, if you check the time valuation result you will notice the 1 count is displayed as 1 minute in format of 0:01. 

As of 2H 2024 release, on the Time Sheet UI, Counted Events will be displayed as decimal as documented in Minor Functional Changes on the Time Sheet UI , while before 2H 2024, on Time Sheet UI counted events also display as minute.

But you may expect each count event to be treated as 1 hour, or some other amount of time.

SAP SuccessFactors Time Tracking

Resolution

For this scenario you can make use of the factor for the input time type group.

The counted events method will count a value as 1 minute. What you can do is to use the factor to convert a minute intp an hour, or a different amount of time. For example with a factor of 60, then 1 minute becomes 60 minutes (1 hour).
