Symptom
- "Employee Time" object and "Employee Time Sheet Entry" object are not found in the flexible period timesheet even after recordings are done in the time sheet UI.
- "Allowance" object is not found in the flexible period time sheet after creating allowance in the time sheet UI.
Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Time Tracking
Reproducing the Issue
- Navigate to a flexible period time sheet.
- Create a new attendance.
- Create a new allowance.
- Check Manage Data and notice that in Employee Time Sheet object, the "Employee Time Sheet Entry" section and "Allowance" section are blank.
Cause
This is expected system behavior.
Resolution
The flexible period time sheet utilizes the new data model where attendance is stored in the "Time Recording" object.
The "Time Recording" object is not associated with the "Employee Time Sheet" object.
Instead, it is an independent object that can be directly searched in Manage Data.
In the new data model, "Employee Time" object and "Employee Time Sheet Entry" object are no longer used for attendance recording; instead, the new "Time Recording" object is used.
Similarly, "Allowance" object is also replaced by "Allowance Recording" object in the new data model.
Please refer to the following documentation for more details:
- Length of Time Recording Approval Period
- Time Recording object
- Monthly Time Sheets in SAP SuccessFactors Time Tracking
As of the 1H 2505 release, the old data model is only used when the time sheet approval period is Legacy week.
For any other time sheet approval periods, the new data model is followed.
