Absence workflow - Changing Req. status

Question

Hello, I'm using workflow for absence requests in ESS.
I created a FM with the following code, which is used in a BOR method and included in a workflow task:
get request from guid
    CALL METHOD ca_pt_req_header=>agent->get_request
      EXPORTING
        im_request_id = request_id
      IMPORTING
        ex_request    = request.
  Change state only for existing request object
    IF request IS BOUND.
execute state transition
      CALL METHOD request->initiate_state_transition
        EXPORTING
          im_transfer_event = event
        IMPORTING
          ex_new_status     = new_status.
    ENDIF.
    COMMIT WORK AND WAIT.
When I test the workflow, it doesn't change the status of the request, but if I have tested the FM and the method and I can change the status request. I have checked the bindings and it seems ok.
Any help?

Hi
Make use of the below code to change the status of a leave/absence request.
METHOD approve.
  DATA: request TYPE REF TO if_pt_req_request,
        event   TYPE tim_req_xfer_event VALUE cl_pt_req_const=>c_reqtrans_approve.
  CALL METHOD cl_pt_req_badi=>get_request
    EXPORTING
      im_req_id  = me->req_id
    IMPORTING
      ex_request = request.
  CALL METHOD cl_pt_req_badi=>initiate_state_transition
    EXPORTING
      im_request    = request
      im_event      = event
*    IM_RET_VALUE  = 0
    IMPORTING
      ex_new_status = me->status.
ENDMETHOD.
Never use any commit work after you chnage the status of the leave request from a workflow task.
