3649227 - How to set up conditional field for flexible period time sheets based on Time Recording

Symptom

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental. 

This KBA explains how to set up conditional field in Time Recording object based on Time Type. After the configuration, the conditional field will display or hide based on the time type selected when creating or editing the entry on the time sheet UI.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Time Tracking

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to the timesheet of an employee with a Flexible Approval period (not using the legacy week setup).

  2. The expected behavior is that when either the employee or admin selects the time type Flexible_TimeRecordingMth, the custom field Remarks_Conditional should become visible




    However, Remarks_Conditional should remain hidden when any other time type is selected



Resolution

  1. Go to Configure Object Definitions.
  2. Select Object 'Time Recording' (Which is the object for Flexible Approval Periods i.e. other than Legacy Week).



  3. Click on the Details link of the corresponding field.  




  4. In Condition section within the Details popup, make sure to set timeType.externalCode as the Condition Field ID alongwith the expected value under Condition Values (Flexible_TimeRecordingMth in this scenario)
