# Create a new approval.

`POST /approval_center/create`

This endpoint allows you to create a new approval. You can create a new approval for an employee with
`absenceData`, `stampData` or `accountingData`. If you provide stampData, an application for a new stamp will be
created. If you provide `absenceData`, an approval for an absence will be created. This can be used to create a
vacation application for an employee. If you provide accountingData, an application for bookings will be created.
For example, 'accountingData' could be an allowance with a corresponding wage type, such as set-up time.
