  The employee is new and has not yet been assigned any absence quotas.
  The quotas have expired or have not been properly configured.
  The employee's absence types are not linked to any defined quotas.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of absence types or quota types in the system.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: There could be errors in the employee's master data or in the way the absence request is being processed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Infotype 2006: 
  
  Go to the employee's master data (transaction PA30) and check Infotype 2006 to see if any absence quotas are defined.
  If there are no quotas, you will need to create them.

  Check the configuration in the SAP system (transaction SPRO) under Time Management > Absence Management > Define Absence Types.
