Group of operations that create, change, delete, or update an Employee Leave Request, or parts of it.

Business Context and Use

The Manage Employee Leave Request In inbound service interface groups operations that allow you to do the following:

• Process leave requests
• Read leave requests
• Request to change or cancel leave that is already booked as actual time in the system
• Simulate all of these functions

You use the operations of this inbound service interface to create user interfaces for requesting leave and changing and canceling leave requests and absences. For these functions, you can also enable employees to check the plausibility of the data by simulating the actions before sending the request.

Note the following comments that are valid for most of the operation messages:

• The ID element identifies a request’s unique key, the LeaveEmployeeTimeReference is a reference to leave that is already booked.
• The ChangeStateID element is used to check whether the message actions have been performed on the leave request that has the highest version number. If there is a newer version in the back-end system than is specified in the message, the message is not processed. The LogItemCategoryCode with the code value CON.ORC (Outdated Response Conflict) is set (in the data type log).
  With this function you can ensure that the employees can edit only the most recent version of a leave request.
• For the request messages of the service interface, the person placing the request does not necessarily need to be listed in the message structure. If the EmployeeLeaveRequestParticipantCode 1 is not filled, the operations assume that the back-end system determines the person placing the request from the system user ID. The WorkAgreementID, EmployeeID, and FormattedName of the person placing the request are determined in the back-end system from the data that is stored about the person’s system user.
  Note :The system uses the EmployeeLeaveRequestParticipantCode 2 to transfer the approver of a request.
• Persons involved in the leave request process can use notes to write comments to others in the process.
  Example:
• An employee provides a reason for requesting vacation at short notice.
• An approver provides a reason for rejecting a leave request.
