2. Go to view Employee File > Administer Time Off

3. Click on New Absence

4. Select Time Type for the leave request that should not trigger workflow approval steps

5. Select Dates > Submit

Expected Result: Leave Request should be automatically approved because the requestor is Administrator and there are no approval steps in the workflow configuration.

Actual Result: Leave Request is saved but in Pending status.

A Workflow Routing is assigned from Employee Time object. The system calls this workflow configuration and tries to trigger from the leave request.

For a leave request, if workflow is not necessary, remove the value from Configure Object Definition > Employee Time > Workflow Routing.
