Why can't I edit time-off in People Schedule?

Question

I am an admin. When I try to edit an approved time-off allocation directly in People Schedule, I get a message saying "Item is locked". Why is that? Timesheets are not locked and usually, even if the time off is approved, I can edit the allocation in People Schedule.

Answer

This can happen if the time-off allocation was submitted along with timesheets by using "Submit Timesheets" (instead of using "Submit Time-Off Only").

You will have to unsbmit timesheets back to the date of the time-off allocation. You will then be able to edit it.
