Leave Request 

Use

Employees can use this Web application to enter a leave request, or to notify their superior that they will be absent for a certain period of time, due to illness, for example. To assist users in entering data, the system displays an overview of all existing information on leave entitlements.

The leave request can be submitted to the employee's superior for approval, depending on the workflow template that is used. Employees can display the status of their requests in an overview. They can also cancel leave requests on the overview screen.

Prerequisites

·        The appropriate workflow must be set up. You can use the following workflow templates in the standard system:

¡        WS04200009 Process Leave Request (with Approval)

If you implement the SAP Business Workflow component, you can find more information in SAP Library under Scenarios in Applications ® SAP Business Workflow ® PA Personnel Management: Workflow Scenarios ® Processing and Cancelling Leave Requests.
