1 How to create a Student Leave Application

Go to the Student Leave Application list, and click on New.
Select the Student.
Set the 'From Date' and 'To Date' fields for specifying the period.
Marking Attendance for the Leave Application is governed by the 'Attendance Based On' field. In ERPNext, Student Attendance can be marked in two ways

Course Schedule: If attendance is taken for every lecture (in colleges/universities), then the leave application can be created for that particular course schedule slot.

Student Group: If attendance is taken for the entire day then student group (class/division) is used to mark attendance so that leave is calculated for the entire day

Based on the Attendance field, select the Student Group or Course Schedule. Optionally enter the reason.

In case the student is not attending the institute to participate or represent the institute in any event, he/she can be marked as "Present" from the Leave Application itself by checking Mark as Present.

Save. The 'Total Leave Days' will be calculated and set in the document after excluding the holidays which are part of your default Holiday List.

1.2 On Submission of Student Leave Application

Once the Student Leave Application is submitted, a Student Attendance record is automatically created with status as 'Absent'. If Mark as Present is checked, then the status of the Attendance Record is set as 'Present'. The Leave Application is linked to this Student Attendance document for reference.

If any of the dates within the leave period is a holiday, then, Student Attendance record creation is skipped for that date.

To create a Student Leave application record, enter the Student and the date for which the leave is applied and save.




In case the student is not attending the institute to participate or represent institute in any event, he/she can be marked as present from the Leave Application itself.

Once a Leave Application is recorded for a student it will not be recorded in the absent student report as he has applied for a leave.
