Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Time sheet

Resolution

Option 1: 

  1. Create a business rule as shown below in the scenario "Metadata Framework" -> "Rules for MDF Based Objects" with base object 'Employee Time Sheet'.
  2. Assign the rule under 'Save Rules' section in the object "Employee Time Sheet".
  3. Create a workflow(via Admin Tools -> Manage Organization, Pay and Job Structure) -> add the workflow in the Time Recording Profile assigned to the employee.

Option 2:

  1. Create a business rule as shown below in the scenario "Metadata Framework" -> "Rules for MDF Based Objects" with base object 'Employee Time Sheet', where a business rule is directly referred to in the rule.
  2. Assign this business rule to the Employee Time Sheet object definition. 

    With such configuration, the workflow in the business rule would be executed directly, without the necessity to further refer to the workflow configured in the time recording profile.
