  The SAP error message HRPBSSA135 indicates that a specific absence type is only applicable to employees with a certain nationality. This error typically arises in the context of managing employee absences in the SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) module, particularly when trying to record or process an absence for an employee whose nationality does not match the criteria set for that absence type.
  Cause:
  
  Nationality Restriction: The absence type you are trying to use has been configured to be applicable only for employees with a specific nationality (e.g., a certain country or region).
  Employee Data: The employee for whom you are trying to record the absence does not have the required nationality in their employee master data.
  Configuration Settings: The absence type may have been set up in the system with restrictions based on nationality, which is common for certain types of leave (e.g., maternity leave, parental leave, etc.).
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Employee Nationality: Verify the nationality of the employee in their master data. You can do this by navigating to the employee's information in the SAP system (usually through transaction PA20 or PA30).
  Review Absence Type Configuration: Check the configuration of the absence type in the SAP system. This can be done by accessing the relevant configuration settings in the SAP HCM module (usually through transaction SPRO). Look for the settings related to absence types and their applicability based on nationality.
  Adjust Employee Data: If the employee's nationality is incorrect or needs to be updated, make the necessary changes in their master data.
  Modify Absence Type Settings: If appropriate, you can modify the absence type settings to either remove the nationality restriction or add the employee's nationality to the list of applicable nationalities for that absence type.
  Consult with HR or SAP Support: If you are unsure about making changes to the configuration or employee data, consult with your HR department or SAP support team for guidance.
  
  Related Information:
