POWL Mass Approval EHP5

Question

We have just started looking at the powl for mass approval of leave requests in EHP5.
It works fine - we can mark requests and approve them.
However, in this mass approval, the manager will not see notes written or see quota for the employee like he does in a regular approval.  It may be that we just haven't played with it enough.  But I have some questions:
1. Is there a possibility from mass approval to go in and see the request like you do from UWL?
2. Does anyone have experience with representing leave requests both in UWL and in POWL?  I imagine this can lead to confusion.
Thanks

Hi Kirsten,
I didn´t have to use it with leave requests, but the solution that I found to use on clock-in/clock-out corrections approval can help you to achieve your requirements:
1 - To create the Notes column, on CL_HRMSS_CICO_APPROVAL_POWL class, I created an enhancement and I added in the structure "ty_s_powl_table" the bellow line. To reach at this point, I navigated on IF_POWL_FEEDER~GET_OBJECT_DEFINITION method.
types reason type ABANGRTXT.
2 - To fill up the content on Notes column, on same class CL_HRMSS_CICO_APPROVAL_POWL, method CL_HRMSS_CICO_APPROVAL_POWL, create other enhancement, to get the notes from somewhere for each line. I don´t know the tables for leaving request, once I haven´t used it.
We have developed many enhancements during the project to achieve the requirements of our customer. These enhancements helped us to avoid creating Z copies of many applications.
I´ve used enhancements to achieve many requirements for: Clock-in Clock-out corrections (ESS and MSS), Payslip statement (ESS) and Appraisals (ESS and MSS).
