Absence Type Configuration for BPM Task Expiration

You can now configure absence types to automatically approve or reject the approval request if the BPM transaction expires. A new field has been added to the Absence Record Maintenance section of the absence type setup page called Action on BPM transaction expiry.

If you select the Approve option on this field, the application will automatically approve an approval request that has been pending with an approver beyond a time period defined on the BPM expiration setting. Similarly, if you select the Reject option, the application will reject the request if the approver does not take any action on it before the task expires.
