• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 32081 - Employee is absent on &1 with absence category &2 (no increase) ?

  The SAP error message 32081 indicates that an employee is marked as absent on a specific date, and as a result, there is no increase in their entitlement for a particular absence category. This error typically arises in the context of absence management within SAP HR (Human Resources) or SAP SuccessFactors.
  Cause:
  
  Absence Record: The employee has an existing absence record for the specified date, which prevents any increase in their entitlement for the absence category in question.
  Absence Category Configuration: The absence category may be configured in such a way that it does not allow for entitlement increases during periods of absence.
  Entitlement Rules: The rules governing how entitlements are calculated may specify that absences impact the accrual of entitlements.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Absence Records: Review the employee's absence records for the specified date. If there is an absence recorded, you may need to adjust or remove it if it is not valid.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration of the absence category in the system. Ensure that the settings allow for entitlement increases when an employee is absent, if that is the desired behavior.
  Adjust Entitlement Calculation: If the absence category is set up correctly but the entitlement calculation is still not working as expected, you may need to review the rules and logic used for calculating entitlements in your SAP system.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP HR functional consultant to understand the specific configurations and rules that apply to absence management in your organization.
