2149882 - Time Off Period End Processing: Received an empty csv file after simulation

Symptom

You are running a PEP simulation but, upon downloading the results, an empty csv file is returned.

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
  • SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite

Reproducing the Issue

  • Navigate to Admin Center > Manage Time Off Calendars > Choose "Period End Processing" as "Change Scenario", create a new calendar and simulate it;
  • Go to Monitor job > Download the simulated file and observe that the file is empty.

Cause

Booking end date is not falling within the calendar period.

Resolution

Criteria for picking an account for PEP simulation

  • Booking end date must fall in calendar period

For example:

I have a 2016 Vacation account with below details

  • Start date               01/01/2016 
  • Bookable until date  31/03/2017

Make sure that the bookable untill date is falling in between the PEP calendar start date and end date.

Here the bookable until date is 31/3/2017

This date should be within PEP calendar start and end date

  • PEP calendar start date 31/12/2016 and end date 31/5/2017:  Correct---31/3/2017 is falling between PEP calendar start and end date
  • PEP calendar start date 01/01/2016 and end date 31/12/2016: Wrong ---31/3/2017 is not falling between PEP calendar start and end date, hence 2016 accounts will not be considered for this run.
