Symptom
How to delete time sheet data processed via External Time Data or External Allowance?
Environment
- SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Time Sheet
- SAP SuccessFactors Time Tracking
Resolution
- Navigate to Manage Data -> Select the External time Data or External Allowance.
- Set the field 'Delete this External Time Data' to 'Yes' -> Save.
- The External Time Data or External Allowance will be processed instantaneously and delete the data (Prerequisite: the instant import must be enabled. Refer to KBA 2854180).
NOTE:
- If the Instant import is disabled, then the Time Sheet Import Job (In Provisioning) which is already running nightly every day will pick up the record and process the deletion.
- If 'timeSheetImportExternalTimes' job is not scheduled (In Provisioning), you may need your implementation partner's help to set up the job.
- Important: DO NOT delete the External Time Data, or External Allowance manually (i.e Take Action -> Permanently Delete entry), as it may not remove the entry from the Time Sheet UI and hence lead to data inconsistency between External Time Data / External Allowance and attendance time recording / allowance recording respectively.
