Cause

A possible cause could be that the work schedule is made up of a daily schedule. The daily schedule does not contain a duration/ start and end time. This duration/ start and end time will enable the target hours for the day to be calculated. Since there is no duration/ start and end time, each day is showing as a day off, because the target is zero hours for each day based on the daily work schedule assigned to the time period model.

Resolution

You need to maintain the duration/ start and end time for the working time types. It is recommended that the changes should be made first in the test system. Then you can see the affects to the changes to time account balances etc. Once the changes are made to the daily models, then a correction run is required for all affected employees to valuate employees times using the correct daily models.
