Time Categories and Consumer Sets

Content

Hello,

Kindly asking your help in a matter related to time categories and consumer sets in Oracle.

We have two separate approval flows for time entries and absences. Absences are not recorded from time card but using Maintain Absence Records.

The issue is that when creating a time card containing an absence in status awaiting approval and we save the time card, the absence is changing its status in saved. 

How can we stop this for happening? 

In the time categories we have added projects or absence management type. Time consumer set is set for Projects Only , absence approval routing and time categories set including projects and absence management. This consumer set is attached to the worker processing profile.
