The request goes to the Trash, where it can be restored. Requests are deleted one at a time.
An approved request
An approved request can’t be edited or deleted. It opens read-only with the message Approved — reject it to make changes.
- Click Reject in its actions menu and give a reason. Its days go back to the balance.
- Edit or delete it.
The employee gets an e-mail when you reject the request. Tell them why in the reason, for example “Dates changed, see the new request”.
