Symptom
"You can’t assign the Absence Counting Configuration field in time types where employee time calendar creation is enabled" when attempting to set "Enable Employee Time Calendar Creation" to Yes on a Time Type that already has Absence Counting Configuration settings.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central – Time Management
Reproducing the Issue
- Navigate to Manage Data> Time Type configuration.
- Select a Time Type that has Absence Counting Configuration set up.
- Attempt to set "Enable Employee Time Calendar Creation" to Yes.
- Observe the error message You can’t assign the Absence Counting Configuration field in time types where employee time calendar creation is enabled.
Cause
- Working As Designed
Resolution
- The error arises from a standard validation within the system. You cannot configure a Time Type to have both "Enable Employee Time Calendar Creation" set to Yes and Absence Counting Configuration settings at the same time.
- By default, the Absence Counting Configuration does not create Employee Time Calendar entries. In contrast, "Enable Employee Time Calendar Creation" is intended for generating entries for reporting purposes, which contradicts the logic of the absence counting configuration.
- To resolve this issue, you must choose either the Absence Counting Configuration or "Enable Employee Time Calendar Creation," as both cannot be configured for the same Time Type. Select one based on your specific needs to avoid the error
