    3. R003 – Change multiple clock type "IN" to clock type "BREAK IN" for entries in a day. Shift "Start Time", "Buffer" settings are used to determine a day.
      For Example:

      2. Shift B starts at 8pm and "Time Buffer" has 60 minutes before start and "New Entry Hours Buffer" is 19 hours, then a day is from 7:00pm to 3:00pm (next day)
    4. R004 – Approve time entries submitted from "Timesheet"
    5. R008 – Do not import timesheet entries for "Non-Timesheet" employees into payroll
    6. R009 – Mark entries exceeding maximum hours configuration as invalid

Hi Aarti, as a workaround, you can use SQL Server 2017 compatibility. I will investigate the issue further in SQL2019.
