SuccessFactors EC Attendance: Prevent Entering Same Attendance Time Type in TimeSheet

[AngelM]

Hi All,

We have a requirement to prevent users from entering the same attendance time type in the Time Sheet more than 2 days in a week.

E.g.: If an employee records more than 2 days of Remote Working in a week in the TimeSheet, then throw an error in case of trying to record another day of Remote Working in the same week.

Kindly confirm if we can handle this case via a Business Rule or suggest other approaches if it is possible.

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,

Angeliki

Hi,

as Jasper mentioned this is possible via time valuation. However, there are some scenarios where indeed the time sheet validation rules (business rules) make more sense. If you need to check allowance types for example - cause they are not available in time valuation. I have written in the past a blog where there is a chapter on when to use what, maybe this helps:

Timesheet things are seldom solved via business roles, you'll likely rather find the solution in directing the requested time (as input time type group) to a correct time valuation that should raise an error if the threshold is passed (which in the final clause would be 2 then I guess or do you have a total amount of hours perhaps that can be taken?).

Hi Jasper,

Many thanks for your feedback! I tried your recommendation and use a time valuation and it seems that is working fine!
