2961121 - System not respecting the 'Balance Cannot Fall below' value

Symptom

The system allows users to apply leave beyond the "Balance Cannot Fall Below" value on Time type.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central: Time Management

Reproducing the Issue

  1. There are two time accounts A and B, for a given Time Type for a user, with balances 0 and 5 days left respectively.
  2. The "Balance cannot fall below" value is set to -2.
  3. When the user applies for a leave, the expectation is that any Leave period beyond 7 days (-5-2=-7) should not be allowed by the system.
  4. However, the system still allows the user to apply for a leave period up to 9 days.

Cause

This is an Expected behavior.

Resolution

  • The Balance cannot Fall below setting is checked for each Time account that exists for a given Time type.
  • That would mean, the system will allow a balance up to -2 for each of the Time Accounts A & B. 
  • Since the system will allow users to borrow 2 days in addition from each time account, the user can take up to 9 days of leave in the example here.
