3388691 - How to prevent absence change based on Time Recording Admissibility

As of 2311 release, it is now possible to prevent retroactive change on past time sheets via Time Recording Admissibility configuration.

But the Retractive Change Restriction setting in Time Recording Admissibility does not impact the absence request, change or cancellation.

For example, 
Based on the configuration in below Time Recording Admissibility, it is not allowed to change time sheet before Oct. 01, 2023, as of Oct. 13, 2023.

In the time sheet UI, if we select some date on or before Sep. 30, 2023, we will get correct result that the Record buttons are grey for Working Times, On-Call Times and Allowance.
But the Create button is still enabled for Absences in Time Sheet UI and you can also request leave from here without issue. Also for the existing absence, you can also edit and cancel it from Time Sheet UI.

To sum up, the Time Recording Admissibility configuration does not restrict absence creation, edition, nor cancellation.

This KBA explains how to restrict absence change based on Retractive Change Restriction setting in Time Recording Admissibility.
