3604387 - Leave Requests are automatically approved even though there is a workflow rule assigned onSave in Employee Time object

Leave requests are automatically approved even though there is a workflow rule assigned onSave in Employee Time object.

However, the rule is not visible in the onSave Rules section even though it is assigned. 

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Time Off

1. Login as the user and submit a leave request.
2. Observe that the request gets auto-approved.

This happens if different time slices of the same rule have different rule scenarios,  for example, the 1/1/1900 time slice has the Basic rule scenario whereas the 1/1/2025 time slice has "Rules for MDF Based Objects" scenario. 

Note: There is a small information icon in the 1/1/2025 time slice which states:

Assignment of Rule “<rule-name>”        
There is an issue with the rule scenario assigned to this rule. Retrieving the assignment information is not possible. Please check the rule manually for configuration issues.

This issue is caused due to an inconsistency in configuration in the customer's instance. 

Engineering team is working on an enhancement (Ref#RUL-10958 and MDF-90693) to prevent such inconsistencies in future. 

Workaround: Create a new onSave rule with the correct "Rules for MDF Based Objects" scenario and assign the rule again in the onSave rules section.
