3005823 - An MDF Workflow Isn't Triggered but the Transaction is set to Pending Status in Employee Central

• Time Off Workflows not triggered after employee requested leave, although leave request shows as "Pending" status. No workflow exists in Manage workflow Requests / on Approver's Todo Tile.
• Benefits Workflow cannot be found after submitting Claim, although claim is in Pending status
• Application error appears trying to cancel Pending Leave / Benefit 
• All the above issues are for workflows created in Production instances between 20th-23rd December, 2020. If the concerned MDF workflows were not created within this time limit, this article is not relevant.
