Approval paths are used to define the hierarchy for obtaining approvals for leave requests in Web Link (and Payroll). With approval paths, the electronic route for the various users who must approve leave requests is specified, along with the users who are able to edit (enter) substitutes for leave requests. Approval paths can be created for different leaves (for example, a sick leave approval path and a vacation leave approval path), or just one approval path can be created and tied to all the leaves.
Note: Each leave can be tied to only one approval path for use with leave requests; if only one approval path is set up, all the applicable leaves must be tied to it. At least one approval path must be defined for use with leave requests.
