Symptom
After 2H 2025 release, a new field essMssEditable of Boolean type is noticed in Employee Time object definition.
Environment
- SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
- SAP SuccessFactors Time Tracking
Resolution
This is just a transient field added to Employee Time for technical reason with our 2H 2025 enhancement Enhanced Absence Recording in Consolidated Time Recording.
It is added technically to ensure an CTR absence requested from the S/4 My Time Sheet app stays non-editable on SF Time Sheet after the CTR absence is replicated from S/4 to SF.
It is a transient field, which means this field value is not actually persisted on DB, but instead calculated in runtime based on other non-transient fields for technical reason. Hence there will be no impact even for custom solutions like custom integrations for employee time objects etc.
