Symptom
An alert rule has been assigned to the TemporaryTimeInformation object as a Post Save Rule. However, temporary time information alerts are not working as expected.
Environment
-
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
-
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Time Management
Reproducing the Issue
-
Navigate to Administer Time Off > Work Schedule
-
Add a new Temporary Work Schedule
-
Click Save
-
Observe that Alert Notifications are not triggered
Cause
-
The alert workflow is configured using user-based roles (e.g., Manager, Self) in both the Approver and CC roles.
-
In such configurations, alerts will not be triggered if the "Subject User Field" is left blank in the Temporary Time Information object definition.
Resolution
To ensure alerts are triggered correctly:
-
Navigate to Configure Object Definitions > Temporary Time Information
-
Set the "Subject User Field" to userId
-
Note: The field is case-sensitive. Please use exact casing (userId).
-
-
Create an alert rule with the following parameters:
-
Rule Scenario: Rules for MDF Based Objects
-
Purpose: Alert
-
Base Object: Temporary Time Information
-
Execute Rule Function: Trigger MDF Alert Event
-
This configuration ensures alerts are triggered correctly when changes are made to Temporary Work Schedules via the Workbench.
