1. Time off rule function (Eg: Get Number of Calendar Days()) is configured as shown in the screenshot.

2. When the rule is processed, if the rule function retrieves Start Date & End Date where the value of Start Date is greater than End Date, then it throws errors such as:

• "getCalendarDays: Error happened when invoking rule function: getCalendarDays, root cause: Start Date <> is after End Date <>" OR
• "Error executing rule <Rule Name> - numberofWorkingdaysForPeriod: Error happened when invoking rule function: numberofWorkingdaysForPeriod, root cause: Rule function numberofWorkingdaysForPeriod start date after end date. Please check rule definition."

• The function(s) will throw a validation error when Start Date is greater than End Date during rule execution.
• The existing rules will need to be modified to accomodate this validation if there is a possibility of start date being greater than end date. Therefore, add an IF condition to the rule to check if End Date is on or after the Start Date. Refer example screenshot:
