Introduction:
Few of our customers have a requirement to report on Employee Central – pending workflow data. That is, the workflow is in pending approval status and report needs to generate data changes (current and previous values) which are in the workflow.

The users need to know the information in the pending workflows to make better business decisions.
The HR department and compliance teams have several use-cases for pending data. Few examples are:
Use-Case 1: The HR compliance teams require a report on all pending location change requests (Current location and new location)
Use-Case 2: The HR mobility teams require a report on list of all Global Assignment transfers pending approval (short-term assignment and long-term)
Use-Case 3: The HR compensation teams require a report to track all employees changing their payment cycle (hourly and monthly)
