color=#0000ff size=2>Vijay, The new leave request workflows are relatively
complex due to the number of options allowed and the way it interacts with the
leave application. It is critical that you read through the SAP Library
help documentation in this area to make sure you have understood how the whole
solution is set up and particularly how the configuration options impact on the
workflow. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

documentation of your release and look for the Personnel Time Management area in
Human Resources. If in doubt, get help from your project's SAP HR
