3625029 - Duplicate Alert Notifications Triggered on Leave Request Submission

Symptom

An alert rule was configured to trigger a notification when a user applies for leave with a Pending status. However, instead of receiving a single notification, the system is sending two notifications to the CC user.

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central – Time Management

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to Administer Time UI → Create Absence

  2. Enter the required details

  3. Click Submit

  4. The CC user receives two notifications instead of one

Cause

  • This issue occurs due to a configuration issue in the alert rule logic.

Resolution

  • To ensure only one alert notification is triggered, update the alert rule with the following conditions:

IF Employee Time.Approval Status is equal to Pending

AND

IF Employee Time.Workflow Request not equal to -1

Then

Execute Trigger Employee Time Event()

  • These conditions will prevent duplicate notifications and ensure the alert is only triggered during valid scenarios.
