You can upload multiple absence requests in bulk from the admin panel using an Excel file. This lets you manage historical absences or schedule future requests without having to create them one by one.

Requests are automatically created with the Approved status, bypassing the approval workflow set in the policy. Usual restrictions like advance notice, date blocks, and retroactivity do not apply.

1. Go to Admin Panel → Vacation and Leave.

2. Go to the Bulk Adjustments option.

   
3. Select the policy you want to associate the requests with.

4. Download the Excel template and fill in the required columns.

   
5. Upload the file and confirm the upload.

• The file must include the following columns:

  Column	Description	Required
  Employee	Internal employee ID in the platform.	Yes
  Start date	Format DD/MM/YYYY.	Yes
  End date	Format DD/MM/YYYY (inclusive).	Yes
  Comment	Free text, up to 255 characters.	No

  Only full days are allowed. You cannot upload half days or partial hours.

• The impact on the balance depends on the cycle the request falls into, determined by the start date:

  Cycle	Behavior
  Past	The request is recorded as absence history. No balance is deducted.
  Current	The request is uploaded and the balance is deducted, just like any normal request.
  Future	The request is uploaded and the balance will be deducted when that cycle arrives.

  Bulk upload does not check for available balance. If the employee does not have enough balance, the requests will still be uploaded.
