ESS Leave request Workflow

[Bibby, David]

Hello,
I have a problem whereby the absence record created by this workflow is a background step and is therefore created by WF-BATCH.
The business requirement is that when the users go into transaction PA20 to view absences they want to see the approvers name not 'WF-BATCH'. Apparently this is for compliance reasons.

One solution I have is to create a Z copy of the BAPI BAPI_PTMGRATTABS_MNGCREATION. 
>From initial investigation into this BAPI it's not obvious where it needs modifying. It could mean modifying more than one if the actual change needed is another function call within this BAPI. I would also need to delegate this BO and create a new method on the Z business object plus a new workflow step to replace the existing standard one.

This solution seems quite laborious and I wondered if anyone had come across this problem before and had another solution, or am I already on the right track with what I propose above ?

Many Thanks In Advance
David
