I want to implement Lieu Leave in ERPNext. What is the correct procedure? Are their any standard methods which are already available in the ERPNext? (I’m using ERPNext 14 version)
We would like to provide a structured clarification on the implementation of Lieu Leave / Compensatory Leave (Comp Off) in ERPNext Version 14, as this topic often leads to confusion.
Availability in ERPNext v14
Compensatory Leave is supported as a standard feature in ERPNext v14. For basic requirements, it can be implemented using out-of-the-box functionality without mandatory customization.
Standard Implementation Process
-
Configure Leave Type
Create a Leave Type (e.g., Compensatory Off / Lieu Leave) and enable the option “Is Compensatory”. -
Record Attendance on Holidays
Ensure the employee has valid attendance marked on a holiday or weekend and that the correct Holiday List is assigned. -
Submit Compensatory Leave Request
The employee submits a Compensatory Leave Request for the applicable date. The system validates the request based on attendance and holiday records. -
Leave Allocation Handling
Upon approval of the request, the compensatory leave is recorded in the system. Depending on configuration and implementation, the corresponding leave allocation may be managed automatically or through administrative action. -
Leave Utilization
The employee can apply for leave using the available Comp Off balance as per the organization’s policy.
Key Considerations
While the feature is available, the following are not handled automatically in version 14:
-
Automatic detection of work performed on holidays
-
Auto-generation of compensatory leave entries based on attendance
-
Expiry rules for Comp Off balances
-
Advanced workflow automation
