This error typically arises during the processing of leave requests or when trying to perform actions related to employee leave entitlements.
  Cause:
  
  
  Data Inconsistency: The most common cause of this error is a mismatch between the remaining leave balance in Infotype 2006 and the leave quota in Infotype 0527. This can happen due to:

  Time Evaluation Issues: If the time evaluation process has not been run correctly or if there are errors in the time evaluation results, it can lead to discrepancies in the leave balances.
  
  
  Incorrect Quota Generation: If the leave quotas are not generated correctly (e.g., due to incorrect rules or settings), it can lead to mismatches.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Consistency:
  
  Review the entries in Infotype 2006 and Infotype 0527 for the employee in question. Ensure that the remaining leave balance matches the quota.
