SLA pause/resume and then priority changes do not recalculate the failure time

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 197

Hello experts, 

I need your help and advice regarding pause and resume for SLA which I created for a client who also updates the case priority more frequently.

I have a Response SLA which has 3 SLA items, each one of them for different case priority. Each priority has different "Failure" time configured.

Let's consider the below configuration for Response time:

High Priority - 1 hour

Medium Priority - 2 hours

Low Priority - 3 hours

Case status "On Hold" will pause and "In Progress" will resume the SLA which is already configured in both SLA KPI and SLA Items level.

The Issue:

When I kept the SLA on paused for some time and then resume the SLA, it updates with the new Failure time. But once I further update the Case priority, the new Failure Time is updated without adding the amount of time the SLA was in kept Paused

Business scenarios: 

At 8:00 AM - Case created in Medium Priority which has 2 hours to respond. Failure Time is 10:00 AM. This works well

At 8:10 AM - Case status updated to "On Hold" and kept the SLA on Paused for 10 mins. This works well

At 8:20 AM - Case status updated to "In Progress" and the SLA is resumed. The Failure Time is updated to 10:10 AM. This works well

At 8:30 AM - Case priority updated to "High Priority". Since the High Priority has 1 hour response time and the case was kept on hold for 10 mins, the Failure Time now I am expecting is 9:10 AM. But I am getting the Failure time as 9:00 AM even though it was on hold for 10 mins on Medium Priority.

Does anyone configured similar SLA (which I think its very common scenario) and tried updating priority to reflect the new failure time after it was in paused condition. Let me know how does this scenario should work, I think the time the SLA was on hold should be added.

Thank you in advance!

    Hi Preetam Yengkokpam

    Please could you confirm if this SLA was created from UCI or migrated from Legacy UI?

    This is a newly created SLA from UCI

    I created a simple SLA in trial environment to replicate the same scenario and it behaves the same way. Whenever the SLA was paused and then the priority is updated, no matter how long the case SLA was in "Paused" state, the new failure time does not accommodate the "paused" duration. It resets everything.

    Looks like this is a default behavior OOTB.  I am just trying to see if this is anywhere documented.

    Hi Preetam Yengkokpam

    I am trying to create an SLA to see if I might have the same experience but it might take me some time cause of work. Perhaps you can raise a ticket to Microsoft so I do not slow you down.

    I was going to suggest this - learn.microsoft.com/.../enable-sla-custom-time-calculation but it involves some code.

    Hi Preetam Yengkokpam I did not have this experience, perhaps it might be because I used only one SLA item.

    You could calculate the Failure Time using www.timecalculator.net/

    What I did was calculate the difference in the time I changed the status of the case to On Hold and changed it back to In Progress, from audit history.

    If the difference is still wrong, these information can aid resolution when you raise a ticket to MS Support.
