Absence Approval

If the Approval of Absence system parameter is enabledd, absence must be submitted and approved before becoming effective and thereby influencing the resource plans.

When absence approval is used, the employee can enter absence calendar lines without affecting the planning. When he has entered the desired absence information, he can submit it as an indication that the absence calendar line now contains the desired information, allowing his absence approval responsible (typically his supervisor—see the Employee No. field in the Absence Approver island of the window Employees) to review the absence calendar line and approve or reject it. Only when an absence calendar line has been approved—and is not marked as temporary—will it be effective and thereby influence the resource plans.

Attention: For more information about the consequences of absence calendar lines entering into effect, see the “Calendar Lines Entering into Effect” section.
