What causes this issue?

As per configuration in view V_T5MLTR, leave type &V1& denotes second
level transfer. By second level of transfer we mean transferring those
vacation days which are already transferred from some other leave type.
In PBS systems there is no concept of second level transfer. Here, the
leave days that are transferred remain valid for all the coming years
until they are used by the employee.
But, in the SAP system, the transferred leave days are valid only for
next vacation year, as per legal interpretation. After that, even if
they are not fully used up by the employee, they are no longer available
to the employee. For example, after some employees have continuously
transferred leave days to the next year, they have enough leave balance
so that they can even transfer their already transferred leave balances.
For this reason SAP has specified the second level transfer.
As PBS does not recognize this, this data is not sent to PBS. This can
lead to inconsistencies between these two systems when the employee
starts transferring the leave types that have already been transferred.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

System Response

How to fix this error?
