1. Login as an employee then request for an absence and have it approved per workflow process.

2. Once absence has been approved, go to Time Off page then cancel the request.

Error message as defined in the absence validation rule is not raised and the absence is successfully cancelled.

Incorrect rule parameter is used in the IF condition of the absence validation rule. 'Employee Time' parameter does nold the original approval status of approved absences, instead 'Edited Employee Time' parameter must be used.

Update the rule configuration and change the rule parameter used from 'Employee Time' to 'Edited Employee Time' and ensure that the take rule parameter conditions for Processing Action is defined before the Edited Employee Time condition.
