  The SAP error message HRPBSSA139 indicates that there is a restriction on the maximum number of absence days allowed for a specific absence type within a defined service duration. This error typically arises in the context of managing employee absences in the SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) module.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when an employee attempts to record an absence that exceeds the maximum number of days permitted for a specific absence type (e.g., sick leave, vacation) within a defined period (service duration). This restriction is usually configured in the system based on company policies or legal regulations.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings for the absence type in the SAP system. This can be done in the customizing settings (transaction code SPRO) under:
  
  Personnel Management > Time Management > Absences > Define Absence Types.
  
  
  Look for the maximum absence days setting for the specific absence type that is causing the error.
  
  
  
  Adjust Absence Request:
  
  If the absence request exceeds the allowed days, consider adjusting the request to fall within the permitted limit.
  
  
  
  Review Employee's Service Duration:
  
  Ensure that the employee's service duration is correctly defined in the system. If the service duration is incorrect, it may lead to this error.
  
  
  
  Consult with HR or Payroll:
  
  If you believe the absence type configuration is incorrect or needs to be adjusted, consult with your HR or payroll department to ensure that the policies align with the system settings.
  
  
  
  Check for Exceptions:
  
  In some cases, there may be exceptions or special cases that allow for more absence days. Verify if there are any such policies in place.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making any changes, test the absence entry again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
