HOW DOES COMP TIME VALIDATION WORKS ON WEEKLY ELAPSED TIME PAGE

If Comp Balance Validation is set to 'Both Online and Batch' on Installation page and if you report Comp Time Earned or Comp time taken, and run time admin, it updates both PS_TL_COMPLEAV_TBL and PS_TL_COMP_DAY_BAL tables along with PS_TL_PAYABLE_TIME tables.

Time Admin updates comp time earned and comp time taken on PS_TL_COMPLEAV_TBL and PS_TL_COMP_DAY_BAL table in TL_TA000900. If time admin is cancelled or errors after TL_TA000900 and Payable time is not created and if you try to report comp time again thinking that you still have comp time since Payable is not created, you will get online error message since PS_TL_COMPLEAV_TBL and PS_TL_COMP_DAY_BAL tables are already updated in previous time admin run. 

If Comp Balance Validation is set to Online Only, and if you report Comp Time Earned, it updates Payable time table but not PS_TL_COMPLEAV_TBL or PS_TL_COMP_DAY_BAL table. If you try to take this Comp time earned you will get online error message since Comp leave table or Comp day bal table is not updated (This will be fixed in next TL bundle).
Basically Online Only Validation is to allow users to take comp time what they have and not more than that.
