Support approval process
When the employee submits a leave of absence request, a workflow is started. The leave of absence request is routed to the integrated inbox of that employee's manager, who can then either approve or reject the application. Then, the employee’s personnel administrator either approves or rejects its entry to master data. If the application is approved, personnel administrator in charge of master data enters the data. The employee receives a message in his or her integrated inbox. If the application is rejected, the employee also receives a message and can decide to resubmit or cancel the request.
