3616984 - Timesheet booking in closed posting period in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

  • Timesheet booking in the previous posting period. The previous period is closed for financial postings.
  • No error/message appeared at the time of time confirmation.
  • No error/warning message is reflecting in My Timesheet APP.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Attempt to book a timesheet in the previous closed posting period.
  2. Observe that the previous period is closed for financial postings.
  3. Confirm that no error or warning message appears during time confirmation.
  4. Check My Timesheet APP to see the timesheet status as approved.

Cause

The posting period information cannot be retrieved through API or CDS view '0003503195 - Is there an API or CDS view to get the Posting Period information in S/4HANA Cloud?'. So an error message cannot be configured for this issue.

Resolution

  1. Use HCM: Timesheet Validations (HCM_CATS_V1_TS_VALIDATION) as a workaround to restrict time posting on the closed period.
  2. Submit an Improvement Request to see such functionality introduced in the future.
