3579333 - Error during Time Sheet Approval: There is already a time sheet in this period for this user with the status

The following error occurs when the manager attempts to approve the time sheet:

• There is already a time sheet in this period for this user with the status. 
• There is already a time sheet in this period for this user with the same time sheet as set in the 'Replaces' field.

1. Employee submitted a time sheet or an attendance request for approval.
2. When the manager attempts to approve the request, error 'There is already a time sheet in this period for this user with the same time sheet as set in the 'Replaces' field.' or 'There is already a time sheet in this period for this user with the status.' appears as shown in below example.
   

This is a performance issue caused by two time sheets being incorrectly updated to the same status simultaneously.

1. Navigate to Manage Data.
2. Search for the pending Employee Time Sheet with external code.
3. View the replaced time sheet in the replaces field.
   
4. Update the Approval status of the replaced time sheet to "Cancelled". 
   
5. If the error persists after above steps, delete the time sheet in replaces field from the system.
