3359752 - Custom reports for employee times show incorrect or no hours, and differ from the pre-delivered reports.

Reports built using time dependent data sources show incorrect or no hours for Employees, and differ from the pre-delivered reports.

SAP Business ByDesign

Compare the following:

• The Employee's Time File in Time Administration work center, Employees view, Edit, and Employee Times tab.
• Any pre-delivered standard time report, in Time Administration work center, Reports view
• Your custom report built on a time dependent data source. Business Analytics work center, Design Reports view

The hours in the Time File and the pre-delivered report match but those in the custom report do not.

The Key Date characteristic is needed for time dependent data source. If a Key Date is not specified in the report, then the system will select a default value which is todays date which can lead to missing data.

Please add the characteristic to your report using the steps below…
To add the Key Date:

1. Edit the report via the Report Wizard
2. Navigate to Select Characteristics
3. Add the Key Date characteristic from the list of available characteristics.
4. Save and then run the report specifying the key date for selection.
