3708464 - Unable to retrieve Pending Employee Time records using recordStatus='pending' or Workflow Navigation

• API queries intended to fetch "Pending" leave requests return no data or errors.
• The query parameter recordStatus='pending' does not return expected results for the Employee Time entity.
• Attempts to retrieve data through wfRequestNav (Workflow Navigation) using pending status flags fail to show the underlying Time Off details.

This behavior is due to the architectural design of the Employee Time entity:

• Pending Data Concept: Unlike other MDF entities, Employee Time does not utilize the "Pending Data" state. The record is created directly in the main entity table upon submission.
• Entity Limitations: The recordStatus parameter and certain workflow navigation filters are not supported for Employee Time because the record exists as a standard entry with a status attribute rather than a "pending" metadata flag.

To successfully retrieve records awaiting approval, you must query the Employee Time entity directly and filter by the record's internal status field.

Correct API Approach: Use the approvalStatus field in your OData filter.

• Endpoint: /odata/v2/EmployeeTime
• Query Filter: $filter=approvalStatus eq 'PENDING'
