3388767 - How to prevent external time data and external time allowance creation based on Time Recording Admissibility

As of 2311 release, it is now possible to prevent retroactive change on past time sheets via Time Recording Admissibility configuration. Details in WNV page Calendar in Time Recording Admissibility can be referred to.  

But the Retractive Change Restriction setting in Time Recording Admissibility does not impact the creation or change or deletion of external time data nor external time allowance. (Import of External Allowances is a new feature released with 2311.)

This KBA explains how to prevent external time data and external allowance from being created, changed, or deleted based on Time Recording Admissibility.
