FIGURE 7-15 Create Notification of Absence screen
Once the employee completes this screen, the time-off request becomes a workflow
item in the Business Workplace for the employee’s supervisor. The Business Workplace is
an interface for accessing a variety of SAP functions, including email, a calendar, and
workflow—similar to other comprehensive communication and collaboration software
packages such as Microsoft Outlook or IBM’s Lotus Notes software.
Figure 7-16 shows a request for time off in the Workflow inbox of the manager’s
Business Workplace. From this screen, the manager can either approve or deny the
request. If the request is approved, the employee receives notification of the approval by
email. If the request is denied, the manager can include a note explaining the rationale.
The rejected request will be sent to the employee’s Workflow inbox, where that person
can either modify the request or cancel it.
