    when you try to save the time type.
  • Not able to save time type with workflow.
  • Cannot have the single record approval on the attendance time type or break time type.

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors Time Tracking 
  • Single Record Approval

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Manage Data.
  2. Select Time Type.
  3. Try to assign Workflow in 'Workflow Configuration' field.

  4. Error 'Time type can't be saved. This time type is the main attendance time type of a time profile. Therefore, the time type can't have a workflow configuration.'

Cause

The main attendance and break time types are used to generate a substantial amount of data (negative recorders and breaks are generated) and hence it is not allowed to assign a workflow on generated data.

Resolution

This is as per the standard design. You can't add single record approval to time types that are main attendance time types or main break time types in a time profile.
