3609217 - Approved or Submitted time sheets are reset to To be Submitted status after 1H 2025 release

Symptom

Approved or Submitted time sheets are reset to To be Submitted status after 1H 2025 release by System System automatically.

Environment

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

Cause

With the 1H 2025 release, a regression issue was introduced, so that the jobs don't recognize identical timesheets that have been updated before release upgrade.

Resolution

This is a known error that was fixed on May 27 in Preview and May 29 in Production instances. With the new code, all background processes (import job, generate job, recalculation job) will create a new timesheet on top of the existing timesheet.

  • For approved timesheets
    • The generate job will create pending amendments for approved timesheets overlapping the current day. 
    • The recalculation job will create new approved timesheet on top of the approved timesheet and cancels the replaced one.
  • For pending-approval timesheets
    • The generate job will get the workflow cancelled, and a manual submission is needed.
    • The recalculation job will get the original workflow cancelled with a new workflow created directly.

But the newly created timesheets in all of the scenarios contain exactly the same data and will not impact payroll in any way.

NOTE: After the patch, the issue will reoccur for timesheets with last modified date between May 17 and May 30 due to the calculation revert. Any timesheets with last modified date before May 17 will not be impacted (in case of recalculation).

You can either ignore those pending amendments, or send them to approval again, as there is no actual change on the data relevant with payroll. Discarding the amendment timesheets generated will not help as the jobs will create a new amendment in the next run.
