2984081 - System Error Creating Purchase Leave When Deduction Start Date is in the Past

Symptom

"System Error" occurs when creating purchase with deduction start date in past when effective paycomponent date is more recent.

Environment

Employee Central, Time Off

Reproducing the Issue

Example:

  1. Create a deduction paycomponent with effective date as current date or Oct 21st 2020.
  2. Assign this deduction paycomponent to new Time Account Purchase Profile and assign it to a new or existing time account type.
  3. No workflow is configured.
  4. Create a purchase with deduction start date before Oct 21st 2020. It results in a generic error.
  5. This happens because deduction start date is before effective date of selected deduction paycomponent while creating recurring deduction.

Cause

Configuration issue

Resolution

The Engineering team are working on improving the behaviour to show an accruate validation error for the above scenario. This is aimed for the b2011 release but not yet confirmed.

Customers should correct the effective date on the deduction paycomponents if incorrect.

Or advise employees to use deduction start date after the date used of paycomponents / set validation rule so that deduction start date cannot be before effective date of paycomponents
