1. Overview
Leave management in QBM is handled through:
- Leave Request — create or edit a leave request with leave type, status, start/end dates, and notes.
- Leave Request List — browse existing leave requests and perform common list actions (New, Go To, Delete).
Where to find it
Use this path from the main QBM window. If the command is not visible, confirm that the user has access to the related module and permission for that screen.
2. Leave Request
Use Leave Request to create or edit an employee leave request. The form includes Save actions (Save and Done, Save and New).
2.1 Create a leave request
- Open Leave Request from the Employees module.
- Enter the document Number (if your process uses numbering) and verify the Date.
- Select the Leave Type.
- Select the Leave Status.
- Select Leave Start Date and Leave End Date.
- Enter a Note if needed.
-
Set flags:
- Is Paid Leave — indicates this leave is paid (per your company policy).
- To Be Printed — used when your process prints leave documents.
- Click Save and Done or Save and New.
2.2 Common fields (as seen on the screen)
| Field | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Number | Leave request reference number for tracking. |
| Date | Document date / timestamp. |
| Leave Type | Classifies the leave request (type list is configured in your system). |

3. Leave Request List
Use Leave Request List to browse leave requests. The list screen includes standard list operations: New, Go To, Delete, and Done. A date selection control is available to control which requests are shown.
3.1 Steps
- Open Leave Request List.
- Use the Date filter (date selection combo) to narrow down records.
-
Select a row and click:
- Go To to open the request.
- Delete to remove it (subject to permissions and business rules).
- New to create a new request.
- Click Done to close the list.
4. Paid Leave & Payroll (Operational Guidance)
Leave management and payroll are related operationally: leave requests track entitlement and approval, and payroll processes payment. Your organization should define the policy for how paid leave is reflected in payroll.
PayrollUserGuide.html.
- Paid leave request: mark the request as Is Paid Leave, and ensure your payroll admin includes the applicable paid leave item during payroll processing.
- Unpaid leave request: your payroll admin may exclude paid leave items for the relevant period (policy-based).
5. Best Practices
- Always use clear notes for exceptions (medical, urgent, partial days) to reduce future disputes.
- Keep statuses consistent (for example: Requested → Approved → Completed) based on your HR policy.
- Separate operational tracking from payment: leave requests capture the leave event; payroll captures payment.
6. Troubleshooting
Requests do not appear in the list
- Adjust the Date filter to include the document date.
- Confirm the request was saved successfully.
Paid leave is not reflected in payroll
- Confirm the payroll admin added the relevant payroll items for the period.
- Confirm your internal policy for paid leave is documented and consistently applied.
