  Incorrect Validity Dates: The validity period of the infotype data may not cover the date for which the absence request is being made.
  Employee Status: The employee may be in a status that does not allow for the maintenance of the infotype (e.g., inactive or terminated).
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Maintain Infotype 0007:
  
  Go to the transaction code PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data).
