How to restrict employees from recording timesheet after a certain date

[kavyarao99]

Dear All,

We would like to disable/ restrict users from modifying timesheet after a certain date in a month andd/or to restrict users from modifying previous month's timesheet.

We tried raising an error message as described in the blog : https://blogs.sap.com/2020/02/17/restrict-employees-to-submit-previous-month-time-sheet/

This does not work when the timesheet has overlapping months.

Looking for ideas to achieve this. 

Thank you,

Kavya

Hi @Volker_Ruof, we are also facing a similar issue during configuration of timesheet lock period, we didn't find quality information that address this issue. Can you please provide some insights on this, maybe any solution document that may be helpful?

@Aratrika_Bardhan: you can use the time recording admissibility object. You can either use the "old" function to define the admissibiilty periods in weeks, or you can fill a table in the newer "retroactiv change restriction" section where you can enter a list of dates. The "effective as of" date a date in your time sheet period and the "no changes before" field can then be entered with a calendar date as well. With this you can align your time sheet periods to the payroll period for example.

Hi @Volker_Ruof, thanks for the response, really appreciate the solution provided. Additionally, it would be very helpful if you could attach any document or reference material to aid the configuration of this case.

@Aratrika_Bardhan: I don´t have a document. It is not rocket science, just try it out in the system. The effective date entry is a date that falls into a time sheet period - and for this time sheet you can then set a date before which a retroactive change is not possible. If you have 12 payroll periods for example you need to enter 12 dates into ths table.

Hi @Volker_Ruof, thanks again for the information. Will try it out and hope it works as expected.
