The system would run into recalculation and data inconsistency issues if changes are allowed to Work Schedule Day Models actively used in the system.
Resolution
To modify a Work Schedule Day Model, you will have to remove all references to this Work Schedule Day Model in the Job Info and move these employees to another first.
You can create an Enhancement Request in the Influence Tool https://influence.sap.com/successfactors should you wish to have this behavior changed.
