  The SAP error message HRTIM_ABS_REQ110 ("You are not permitted to change the absence") typically occurs when a user attempts to modify an absence record for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to edit an employee's leave request or absence record in the SAP system.
  Causes:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required permissions to change absence records. This could be due to role assignments or missing authorizations in the user's profile.
  Absence Status: The absence record may be in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., already approved or processed).
  Time Management Configuration: Certain configurations in the time management module may restrict changes to absence records based on specific criteria.
  Locking Mechanism: The absence record might be locked by another process or user, preventing modifications.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary roles and authorizations to change absence records. This can be done by checking the user's profile in the SAP system.
  If the user lacks the required permissions, a system administrator or HR personnel should update the user's roles accordingly.

  Check for Locks:
  
  Ensure that the absence record is not locked by another user or process. If it is locked, you may need to wait until the lock is released or contact the user who has locked the record.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  If you are familiar with SAP transaction codes, you can use relevant transactions (like PA30 for maintaining HR master data) to check the absence record and its details.
