New Soft Warning for Clash of Absence & Additional Items

Description

Previously as a Timesheet Initiator a user can enter in an Absence Item and an Additional Item for the same date, and the system will accept this on Save, Submit or Submit & Approve.

This may be done in error, or there may be circumstances where an Absence Item and an Additional Item (where the item is not a Leave Pay Code linked to an Absence Type and as such also a leave item) may be required for the same date. To alert the Timesheet Initiator, a new soft warning has been added to check for clashes between these items.

This check will be triggered on Save, Submit or Submit & Approve, and the following warning message will display if there is a clash.

If the Timesheet Initiator wants to keep both items on the same date, OK is selected and the Timesheet is Saved, Submitted or Submitted & Approved. If the Timesheet Initiator has done this in error, they can click cancel and make changes to the Timesheet.

These changes impact:

Timesheets in Time & Attendance View
Timesheets in Mobile Timesheets
Timesheets in PC for Mobile Timesheets View

Benefits

This enhancement provides additional checks to ensure that Timesheet information is not incorrectly keyed.
