3294293 - It is not possible to create a work schedule with a 24-hour working day

Symptom

When creating a 24-hour working day in a clock times work schedule, for example from 08:00AM to 08:00AM the next day, the following error message occurs: "End time on day 1 is the same as the start time. Please correct this. "

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

Environment

  • SuccessFactors Employee Central - Time Sheet
  • SuccessFactors Employee Central - Time Off
  • SuccessFactors Time Tracking

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to 'Manage Data'.
  2. Select 'Work Schedule' in Create New.
  3. Set 'Time Recording Variant' to 'Clock Times', and 'Cross Midnight Allowed' to 'Yes'.
  4. Click on 'Details'.
  5. Set the same start and end time with Category 'Scheduled Working Time', and click on Done button.
  6. Save the work schedule and the following error occurs:

Cause

This is the standard design. 

Resolution

Please set the End Time as Start Time minus one minute.

For example, if the Start Time is 08:00AM, please set the End Time as 07:59AM instead of 08:00AM. 

This will avoid the error as a workaround.

Similar situation also happens with Work Schedule Day Model, as mentioned in KBA 3253281 - Unable to create a work schedule day model with the same start time and end time.
