Hello experts,

I would like to update the "Available Limit" field (on screen "Absence Limit Year" field) using a custom  event SQL code.

The API I am using is:

        IFSAPP.ABSENCE_LIMIT_API.Modify__(
info_ => info_,
objid_ => objid_,
objversion_ => objversion_,
attr_ => attr_,
action_ => 'DO');

However, I get the following error message:

 

What does that mean?

 

Thank you in advance.

hi ​@Link ,

 

I know very little about HR/HCM topics, but looking at the ABSENCE_LIMIT_API I see lots of generate limit procedure. Therefore I’m thinking directly upodating that field is not possible and maybe you need to use of the the below procedures?

Hi ​@Marcel.Ausan 

If I use one of the procedures, will it create a new row or recalculate the absence limit?

And why do you have more procedures than I do?

 

Thank you in advance.
