Resolution

To solve the issue, please go through the steps below:

  1. First you need to find out if you have Time Off Enabled:
    1. Go to Manage Employee Central Settings;
    2. Check if the option "Time Off" is checked (Note: If Time Off For Leave Of Absence Only is also enabled, then this might be a different situation so for this create a ticket to SAP support);
    3. Now go over the related steps below;
  • Time Off is enabled;
    1. Go to Manage Business Configuration;
    2. Go to jobInfo session;
    3. Make sure that holiday-calendar-code, workschedule-code or time-type-profile-code are enabled;
    4. If the above checks are correct, Check the Company / Legal Entity of the employee and Country of Registration are maintained in the instance / Manage Data with correct effective date.
  • Time Off is not enabled;
    1. Create an adhoc report with the domain Person And Employment Export;
    2. In the Employee Job Info session, select the fields holiday-calendar-code, workschedule-code or time-type-profile-code;
    3. If you do not have Time Off Enabled, those fields must be empty;
    4. If the fields are not empty, you need to temporarily activate those fields in Manage Business Configuration > jobInfo;
    5. After that, delete the values for this field;
