How do you Stop Users from Entering More Than 24 Hours in a Day in OTL

Our users are able to enter more than 24 hours worked in a day. This happens both in Self Service and Timekeeper form. How can we stop this from happening?

Solution:

Create a Time Entry Rule (TER) to handle the validation following these steps:

1) Create a Time Category with all the elements to which you want this TER to be applicable

2) Create a Daily Rule (need to setup a new Recurring Period of 1 day)

     Nav: US OTL Application Developer > Recurring Periods

    Create a new Recurring Period called Daily with Duration in Days = 1 and Start Date of 01-Jan-
    2000

3) Create a Time Entry Rule which uses the seeded formula 'Seeded formula for Period Maximum'  
    with the following Formula Inputs:
    Period = Daily
    Time Category - Time Category you just set up
    Maximum Hours = 24
    Reference Period = 1

4) Create a Time Entry Rule Group with the TER you just created in it
5) Assign the Time Entry Rule Group to the employee(s) via the Time Entry Rule Group preference
