3399061 - Minimum Dynamic Break deduction on partial absences

Symptom

Configuration has been done to generate a Dynamic Break (e.g. 30 minutes) when the recorded hours reach a certain amount (e.g. 5 hours). It is expected that a 30-minute dynamic break should only be generated if the absence hours reach a minimum of 5 hours. 

  • Requesting a partial absence with less than 5 hours, the system is still deducting 30 minutes. 
  • A 30-minute break is manually recorded and then a partial absence is requested, a duplicate dynamic break is deducted again from the requested absence amount.

Environment

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

Cause

Currently this is the expected system behavior. 

While recording an absence, the system does not consider recorded attendances on the same day. Hence, the system does not know that no dynamic breaks are required.

To gather the correct amount of hours for absences, the Scheduled Dynamic Break are generated as if the full work schedule is worked. If a partial absence overlaps with the Scheduled Dynamic Break, the absence gets breaks deducted although no other record exist. 

Resolution

It is possible to generate the correct time valuation result for recorded absence, but the deduction quantity for the partial absence cannot be modified as of current release.
