This is achieved in the Self Service Profile by overriding the total that can be requested.

Select ‘System’ from the Menu Bar.
Select ‘Self Service Profiles’ from the System Tree.
Select the required Self Service Profile.
Select the ‘General’ tab.
In the ‘Requests’ section, tick ‘Override Request Total’.
Save.

The result is that employees can now modify their own hours in the ‘New Total’ box when making an Absence Request.

Exception: if the Absence Reason selected uses ‘From Schedule’ as its Calculation Type, hours cannot be modified (the total is greyed out preventing edits).
