The leave type you want isn't listed.

Leave types come from the policy assigned to you. If one is missing, ask HR to check your policy assignment.

The request is rejected because of insufficient balance.

Check your remaining balance for that type first. Balance is per leave type, not a single pool.

You need to work from home rather than take leave.

Submit a work-from-home request instead — it is a separate request type.
