Environment

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

Reproducing the Issue

  1. For a negative time recording method employee, recordings are generated by the system for the past days based on the planned working time. 
  2. Add an recording manually on a day with generated working time already.
  3. It happens that the existing working time entry is deducted with the duration of the newly added overtime, and as a result, the overall recorded time on the day is still the same as the planned working time.
    As in below example, the planned working time is 8 hours for this negative time recorder.
    On Aug 28, an overtime of 1 hour is added manually. It is expected to have overall 9 hours of recorded time on Aug 28.
    But the generated working time is automatically deduced with 1 hour from Overtime, becoming 7 hours. 
    And the overall recorded time on Aug 28 is still 8 hours, the same as the planned working time.

Cause

The time type Overtime time type is added in a Time Type Group categorized as "Working Time" in the time valuations of the assigned time recording profile.

Resolution

Please make sure the Overtime time type is not added to any Working Time category time type group in all the time valuations of the assigned time recording profile.
If you need to include the Overtime in some time valuation as input, please create a time type group with Time Category = Recorded Overtime, and use this time type group as input of the time valuation.

After this, the overtime will no longer deduct the generated working time.
