3226234 - During Global assignment Creation a New Record time-slice will be created for GA User's Dependents

Symptom

  • During Global Assignment creation, new timeslice will be set up/updated for user’s dependent
  • Dependents record created by adding Global assignment

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental. 

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the User's profile
  2. Add global assignment
  3. Set the Event reason: ADD_GA
  4. Fill below fields:
    Type: // Start date: / End date:  /Position: / Is accompanying dependent: No
  5. Submit
  6. Go to Global Assignment User's Dependents portlet
  7. New Dependents record is created

Cause

As per the current product design, this is expected behavior.

Note: A timeslice will also be added in the dependents portlet when ending a global assignment with an effective date of the End Date+1

As per the Centralized Services' design, all effective-dated entities that are participating in an action should have aligned time slices.  Dependent section is part of Global Assignments and it is an effective-dated entity, therefore, a new time slice will be created when Creating/Ending a Global Assignment. 

Resolution

It is expected that during GA creation, new timeslice will be set up/updated for user’s dependent
