3804224 - Time Valuation: "Deduct Group from Input Groups" is not working as expected with overlapping absences and attendances

Symptom

When using the "Deduct Group from Input Groups" valuation, you receive an unexpected result if the deduction group contains overlapping absences and attendances

Environment

  • Employee Central Timesheet
  • Time Tracking

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Configure a "Deduct Group from Input Groups" valuation
  2. The deduction group contains absences and attendances
  3. Enable the Absence and Attendance collision logic
  4. Enter overlapping attendances and absences in the timesheet
  5. The result of the "Deduct Group from Input Groups" valuation using these times does not generate the expected result

Cause

System limitation

Resolution

Using a deduction group containing both absences and attendances can cause unexpected results.
As a workaround, you can instead have 2 separate time valuations where the first deducts the attendances and the second the absences

Valuation 1
Valuation type: Deduct Group from Input Groups
Input Group: Time type groups you wish to deduct from
Deduction Group: Attendances
Above Group: Input - Attendance

Valuation 2
Valuation type: Deduct Group from Input Groups
Input Group: Valuation 1 Above group
Deduction Group: Absences
Above Group: Input - Attendance - Absence
