How to create a Leave Request in X++ code?

Hello everyone,

I'm facing an issue related to Leave Requests in Dynamics 365.

I have a scenario where I need to submit a Leave Request on behalf of an employee using X++ code. Normally, in the system, this action is done through the standard interface, and the request goes through a specific workflow.

As shown in the screenshots, I can manually create a Leave Request through the UI. However, when I investigated the backend logic, I found that the submission process relies on a class named LeaveRequestSubmitter.

Unfortunately, this class is marked as internal, which means I cannot access or use it directly in my X++ code to mimic the same behavior as the standard system process.

My question is:

Is there a supported or recommended way (or logic) to programmatically create a Leave Request for a specific worker using X++?

Thanks in advance!

Moved to Finance forum, hope you don't mind.

The easy way is to use the EssLeaveRequestHeaderEntity, you can call the submit method from your X++ code.

It's used for external apps to interface with the Employee Self Service functionality in HR, but nothing restricts it from being used from inside F&O.

Hi,

Just a piece of advice\recommendation. In my opinion, changing any logic or adding custom code should be avoidable, unless its a strong requirement and other solutions are not applicable. So my question is, is it possible to use Power Automate to fulfill the business case? Even if the entity required is not available, I would create either a new entity or modify an existing one.

As soon as MS changes something in that process, your logic will not be considered. Any issues\bugs will be out of service in this area due to custom code.

I have to admit, I am not aware of your business case, so your approach might be the best in your situation, just adding my two cents.

Kind regards, Adis

hi Jonas "Jones" Melgaard

I hope you're doing well.

I'm currently working on an X++ customization in Dynamics 365 Finance, and I'm trying to understand how to call the submit method from the EssLeaveRequestHeaderEntity.

Could you please guide me on how this can be done, or share any resources or code examples that might help me better understand the process?

I would really appreciate your help.
Best regards,
