Issue with ESS Leave request workflow - Deleting a leave request

Question

Hi friends,
  This is my scenario: An employee has created a leave request from ESS - Leave Request Workflow(Copy of  WS12300111) gets triggered and work item gets created in manager's UWL. After that the employee realizes he has created a wrong leave request so he deletes that leave request from ESS. In this case the workflow instance which got triggered when he created the leave request is under process and the work item stays in the Manager's UWL( there is no terminating event or wait for event step in the approval step of workflow WS12300111), when the Manger opens that work item it shows a blank column, ideally speaking when the leave request is deleted by the employee the work item in the manger's UWL should be logically deleted and the workflow should complete, but this part is not handled in the standard workflow WS12300111as well. How to handle this case. I can put a wait for event or a condition to complete a work item at the approval step but i would like to know how the standard ESS leave request framework works in this case. Please advice.

Hi sapient
  This is not handled in std. You have clear the next processor in your in method then only the work item will get vanished from the UWL.  For clearting the next processor either you can create a method in your BOR and get the request id. For the request id get the max version and clear the next processor or in the BADI you have wirte your own logic when the change happens what you have to do. This logic has to be written in you BADI.  I thing BADI will start with PT_ check with that name in se18
   You cannot use wait for event or terminating event since its not R/3 workflow its ESS workflow you cannot use ternminating event or wait step.
