Actually there is no link between the absence timesheet categories posted and the leave and absence current balance. It means that the time-off request is the only actual that is calculated in this balance and the real absence posted in Timesheet has no impact to the employee balance!

So when an absence request is approved and finally the employee does not use this absence, the balance is false. It is clear that the last stage "Actuals" is missing on the leave and absence evaluation, that generate unusefull manual adjustments for correcting the absence balance.

To-day many customer are customizing this part in the system, that is not normal as the effort is not very important to match this purpose.

NB: This update from Timesheet categories posted could be extended to other absence types (Illness, injuries,....).
