  The SAP error message FITVPS359, which states "You cannot delete absences for parallel business trips," typically occurs in the context of managing employee absences and business trips within the SAP system. This error indicates that there are overlapping business trips and absences that prevent the deletion of certain absence records.
  Cause:
  
  Overlapping Dates: The error arises when there are absences that overlap with business trips. SAP does not allow the deletion of absences if they are associated with active or ongoing business trips that occur during the same time frame.
  Data Integrity: SAP enforces this rule to maintain data integrity and ensure that the absence records accurately reflect the employee's status during business trips.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Business Trip and Absence Dates:
  
  Review the dates of the business trips and the absences in question. Ensure that there are no overlaps.
  If there are overlapping dates, you will need to adjust either the business trip or the absence.
  
  
  
  Modify or Delete Business Trip:
  
  If the business trip is no longer valid or needs to be adjusted, consider modifying or deleting the business trip record first, if appropriate.
  
  
  
  Adjust Absence Records:
  
  If the absence is valid but overlaps with a business trip, you may need to change the dates of the absence to ensure they do not conflict with the business trip.
  
  
  
  Consult with HR or Payroll:
  
  If you are unsure about how to proceed, consult with your HR or payroll department. They can provide guidance on how to handle absences and business trips in compliance with company policies.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
