How to prevent new leave request from SSHR in case of negative PTO accrual

Question

Hi folks,
I am stuck with a peculiar problem.
There are employee in our system who have negative PTO accruals and when they try to create Leave from SSHR, the system allows them to create a leave with a warning.
*"This absence will decrease the employee's PTO net entitlement to less than zero for one or more of their accrual plans."*
I want to prevent the users to complete the Absence form from SSHR, if they have negative PTO accruals.
How can I achieve this, I thought it would be pretty straight forward controlled by a profile !!!
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I also have similar requirement, I have done the following to achieve this.
1. Created a custom package with the following procedure.
PROCEDURE NEG_ACR_BAL_CHK ( P_ABSENCE_ATTENDANCE_TYPE_ID NUMBER
,P_EXCEEDS_PTO_ENTIT_WARNING BOOLEAN)
IS
CURSOR CSR_GET_ABS_CAT IS
SELECT ABSENCE_CATEGORY
FROM PER_ABSENCE_ATTENDANCE_TYPES
WHERE ABSENCE_ATTENDANCE_TYPE_ID = P_ABSENCE_ATTENDANCE_TYPE_ID;
l_abs_category varchar2(20);
BEGIN
--Get Absence Category
OPEN csr_get_abs_cat;
FETCH csr_get_abs_cat INTO l_abs_category;
CLOSE csr_get_abs_cat;
IF (l_abs_category <> 'NWPL_AL') AND (P_EXCEEDS_PTO_ENTIT_WARNING = TRUE) THEN
fnd_message.set_name('PER','HR_LOA_EMP_NOT_ENTITLED');
fnd_message.raise_error;
END IF;
END NEG_ACR_BAL_CHK;
2. Then hooked this custom procedure, to the hook package of absence, "HR_PERSON_ABSENCE_BK1.CREATE_PERSON_ABSENCE_A". As per the, note: "Understanding and Using API User Hooks".
Hope this is of help to you.
