SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Workflow
Reproducing the Issue
- Configure the auto approval/ auto escalation after 2 days.
- Perform any action (e.g.: leave request) and a workflow is triggered.
- If the manager does not approve the leave on the same day, the application is automatically escalated to the second level after the weekend.
