ECC 6.0 - Cancel Approved Leave Request

Mon May 19 20:08:47 EDT 2008

Hi John,

thanks for your reply.

The requirement is that when an employee deletes an already approved leave 
request, then he/her as well as the manager will receive an email.

That means that the leave request approval has already happened and, 
therefore, there is no wait step in the workflow.

I really thought that other people would have implemented a similar 
scenario: employee deletes an approved leave request.

If the leave request has been approved and posted, then Infotype 2001 has 
been created. 

1 - Is that ok to use BAPI_ABSENCE_DELETE to delete the Infotype 2001 that 
has been created?

2 - How to make the entry 'disappear' from the employees 'Leave Overview'? 
Should I have a step in the workflow that sets the status of the request 
to 'WITHDRAWN'?

I find hard to believe that any of these have never been done before?!!!

Can anyone help??

Much thanks and regards,

Cris

Re: ECC 6.0 - Cancel Approved Leave Request

Hi 

If the leave request is sent for approval and then cancelled before 
approval is given, i am guessing that you have a leg in the workflow that 
has a 'wait for event' task in (running in parallel to the main body of 
the workflow) so that the workflow completes if the cancel event is raised 
and the Approve request is removed from the inbox of the Approver. So 
there would be no need to send an email to the Approver.

ECC 6.0 - Cancel Approved Leave Request

Hi all,

we are in ECC 6.0 and the requirement is that when an employee cancel an 
approved leave request an email is to be sent to his/her manager i.e. no 
approval is required.

I linked my workflow to the relevant leave type so there are different 
workflows to be triggered when an employee submits a new leave request and 
when an employee deletes an approved leave request.

I am sure someone out there must have done something similar!

A few questions:

1 - I believe that if the leave request has been already posted, my 
workflow will need to delete the relevant Infotype 2001. Is that ok to use 
BAPI_ABSENCE_DELETE to achieve that? 

2 - If the Infotype 2001 has to be deleted, what should happen to the 
relevant entry in the table PTREQ_HEADER? Should I change the status of 
the relevant entry to be what? WITHDRAWN? I noticed that the PTREQ_HEADER 
has now the status SENT (because a workflow was triggered).

3 - I also noticed that in PTARQ my deleted entry has operation set to DEL 
- does that mean that if I set the status of the entry to WITHDRAWN (or 
something else), when i hit the Post Documents the infotype 2001 will be 
automatically deleted??

Thanks in advance for any hints/tips/advice you can provide!

Cheers 

Cristiana
