When the Leave Template is populated and the Payee is saved, the Leave Rules associated with the Leave Template (listed as Leave Template Items) are automatically created as Payee Leave Rules.
Leave Template records CAN NOT be deleted if they have related records or are used in other records. Deleting records is not recommended unless absolutely essential.
