Specifically, it states that the intended leave start date cannot be before the start date of the associated activity or project (APP).
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Partner: The partner (employee/resource) is marked as inactive or "dead" in the system, meaning they are not available for assignments or activities.

  Check Partner Status: Verify the status of the partner in the system. If the partner is indeed inactive, you may need to either reactivate them or assign the leave to a different active partner.
  Adjust Leave Dates: Ensure that the intended leave start date is set to a date that is on or after the start date of the associated activity or project. Adjust the leave request accordingly.
  Review Project Dates: Check the start and end dates of the project or activity (APP) to ensure that they are correctly defined and that there are no discrepancies.
  Consult with HR or Project Management: If you are unsure about the status of the partner or the project, consult with your HR department or project management team for clarification and guidance.
