  Review Notification Policies: Check the company's policies regarding notification timelines for absences or other HR-related events. Ensure that employees are aware of these policies.
  
  
  Submit Notifications on Time: Encourage employees to submit notifications as soon as possible after an event occurs. This can help avoid late notifications.
  
  
  Adjust Configuration (if necessary): If the notification period needs to be adjusted (for example, if the company policy has changed), you may need to modify the configuration in the SAP system. This typically requires access to the SAP configuration settings and may involve working with an SAP HR consultant.
  
  
  Communicate with Employees: If there are frequent occurrences of this error, it may be beneficial to communicate with employees about the importance of timely notifications and provide training if necessary.
  
  
  Manual Intervention: In some cases, if the late notification is justified (e.g., due to extenuating circumstances), a manager or HR representative may need to manually override the error or make a note in the system.
