Why are future dated leave applications reducing the current period's leave balance?

Future dated leave applications will reduce the current leave period's leave balance when the "Force employee's leave balance to reduce in current period rather than start date period." checkbox under the Leave Calculation section on the Leave Settings screen is enabled.

      Navigate > Configuration > Human Resources > Leave Administration > Leave Settings > Leave Calculations

      

Important!
      The number of future dated leave applications submitted within one period can result in a negative leave balance.
