  Advanced Absence Bookings: There are future absence bookings that reference the leave type you are attempting to delete.
  
  Solutions:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Leave Balances:
  
  Navigate to the relevant infotype (e.g., IT2006 - Absences) to check if there are any existing leave balances for the leave type.
  If there are balances, you may need to adjust or clear them before attempting to delete the leave type.
  
  
  
  Review Accruals:

  Check Advanced Absence Bookings:
  
  Look for any future absence bookings that are associated with the leave type. This can typically be done through the absence management reports or infotypes.

  Consult with HR or Payroll:
  
  If you are unsure about how to proceed or if there are complex issues related to payroll or employee records, consult with your HR or payroll department for guidance.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  You can use transaction codes like PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to check employee records or PT60 (Time Evaluation) to analyze time data related to the leave type.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for more details on managing leave types and understanding the implications of deleting them.
