Symptom
- You have encountered an issue where the Team Absence Calendar fails to load any team absence data for a specific date range with the following message, "Please wait a moment while we load the data".
- However once outside of this date range, the Team Absence Calendar behaves as normal.
- E.g. In the Team Absence Calendar, the date range has been set to August 10, 2025 - August 16, 2025. No data loads. However, once the date range is changed to a future date, e.g. November 2, 2025 - November 8 (or even further into the future, e.g. 1 year), the data loads and the Team Absence Calendar behaves as normal
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central > Time Off > Team Absence Calendar
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Team Absence Calendar
- See that for a specific date range, no data is loaded and the following message appears, "Please wait a moment while we load the data"
- Change the date range in the Team Absence Calendar to a date in the distant future.
- See that the issue no longer occurs
Cause
- An absence record for a user in the team absence calendar has been created and subsequently modified incorrectly within the affected date range.
- Once the user with the absence has been picked out, identify the external code of the absence (employee time) record. Please see KBA 2680786 - External Code of an Employee Time / Leave Request for assistance on how to do this.
- You will notice that the external code record contains a special character like "/". Special characters like "/" are not supported for employee time external codes and can cause issues in the system when the absence is trying to be read in the team absence calendar.
Resolution
- The absence must be cancelled. Kindly follow the steps in KBA 2439545 - How to Delete Approved Leave Requests for steps on how to do this.
- Create the absence again. Once you have done this, do not make any changes to the external code and the issue should no longer happen.
