  The SAP error message HRPSGB_ABS006 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the valuation rules for waiting days in the Absence Management module. This error typically arises when the system is trying to process an absence record, but it cannot find a valid valuation rule for the waiting days specified in the absence type.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the absence type configuration in the system. Specifically, it means that the absence type you are trying to process has been set up to require a valuation rule for waiting days, but no such rule has been defined in the system. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Valuation Rule: The valuation rule for waiting days has not been created or is not assigned to the absence type.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the absence type may not be correctly set up to reference the appropriate valuation rule.
  Changes in Configuration: Recent changes in the configuration might have led to the removal or alteration of the valuation rule.
