• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPBSSA226 - Maximum &2 calendar days allowed for absence type &1 in a year ?

  The SAP error message HRPBSSA226 indicates that there is a restriction on the maximum number of calendar days allowed for a specific absence type within a year. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) when an employee attempts to record an absence that exceeds the predefined limit set for that absence type.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Limits: The maximum number of days for the absence type (e.g., sick leave, vacation) has been configured in the system. If an employee tries to enter an absence that exceeds this limit, the system will trigger this error.
  Absence Type Settings: Each absence type can have specific settings that define how many days can be taken in a year. This is often set up in the absence type configuration in the SAP system.
  Employee's Entitlement: The employee may not have enough entitlement or quota for the absence type being requested, leading to the error when the request exceeds the allowed limit.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the absence type in the SAP system. This can be done by navigating to the relevant configuration path in the SAP HCM module (usually under "Time Management" settings).
  
  Transaction codes like SPRO can be used to access the configuration settings.
  Look for the settings related to "Absence Types" and check the maximum allowed days.
  
  
  
  Review Employee Quotas: Check the employee's absence quotas to ensure they have enough entitlement for the requested absence. This can be done using transaction codes like PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data).
  
  Ensure that the employee has not exhausted their leave balance for the specific absence type.
  
  
  
  Adjust Absence Request: If the absence request exceeds the allowed limit, the employee should adjust their request to fall within the permissible range.
  
  
  Consult with HR: If the configuration appears correct and the employee's entitlement is sufficient, consult with your HR department or SAP support team to investigate further. There may be additional rules or settings that need to be reviewed.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Absence Types: Familiarize yourself with the different absence types configured in your organization and their respective limits.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this error or provide additional guidance on configuring absence types.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or user manuals related to Time Management and Absence Management for more detailed information on configuring and managing absence types.
