HCM Absence Management - Denied Absence showing "In Progress"

Hello,

In our environment, we encountered an absence request which was rejected and yet shows "In Progress" rather than "Denied".

A search of Oracle Support, Oracle Documentation, and Oracle Customer Connect yielded no results related to this.

My question is whether any other customers have experienced rejected absences going into "Complete" status instead of "Denied", if so, what was the cause and solution for this issue?

Thanks
