Hi All,

 

I need to define a Catalog Task SLA like this:::

 

- Duration Type : User Specified Duration

- Duration : 4 Days ( 8 hrs. a day which means 32 hrs. plus excluding Holidays && Weekends)

 

I have configured it like this below, so if I raise today it should show the 'Original Breach Time' to be '2023-08-21' but it is showing as '2023-08-29'.

Can someone please help me rectify?

 

Thanks and Regards,

Saurabh Chatterjee

Hi @chatsaurav19 ,

 

That is what I thought, but just needed the timestamp to confirm 🙂

The reason that it's showing 15 days for actual time left is due to the calculation:

 

5 days (the duration)

24 hours (hours in a day)

8 hours (the defined schedule) 

 

Which refers to:

 

5 x 24 = 120 / 8 = 15

 

If you would like the SLA breached to be 5 working days = 40 hours (8 hours a day), you need to set the duration to "1 day and 16 hours".

Hi  @chatsaurav19 ,

 

I'm pretty shure that it's your duration according to the defined schedule that make the SLA for 29th of august. If you see the documentation found at: https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/vancouver-it-service-management/page/product/service-level-manage...

 

Consider a scenario where you select a duration of one day, which is 24 hours, and a schedule of 9 am to 5 pm, which is 8 hours. The SLA calculation will distribute the 24 hours across three working days of 8 hours each. So a team working on a task associated with this SLA has 3 days to complete the task before the SLA is breached.

Hi @AndersBGS ,

 

So in this case :::

8 hrs ( Per Day ) x 5 Days = 40hrs. 

 

So the SLA should show 'Original Breach Time' as '2023-08-21' correct?  Not sure why this is stretching to show 29th.
