Leave sets that are linked to the Parent Client, Client or Cost Centre hierarchy level can only be used to define the rules for leave that is submitted via an absence item on a timesheet and not for leave requests that are submitted directly through the Leave module. When a leave request is submitted through the Leave module there is no link between the leave and a job and therefore there is nothing to link the leave to a leave set at the Parent Client, Client or Cost Centre level of the leave set hierarchy.
