Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Time off

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to employee's Time Off UI
  2. Create a half day leave request (say on 14th July for 4 hours)
  3. Create another leave starting from the same date 14th July, for 4 hours and recurs daily > Error occurs

Resolution

  • This is currently a limitation and happens when there is already have an absence requested, and combining the recurring absence duration for the same day becomes a full day.

  • As a workaround, create separate daily absences without using the 'recurring absence' checkbox.

NOTE: The error also appears when daily recurring absence is created for full day which is an expected system behaviour. For more details, refer handbook Enabling Recurring Absences
