• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LR269 - Currency not permitted with attendance or absence ?

  The SAP error message LR269 ("Currency not permitted with attendance or absence") typically occurs in the context of time management, particularly when dealing with attendance or absence records in the SAP system. This error indicates that there is a mismatch or an issue with the currency settings related to the attendance or absence records.
  Cause:
  
  Currency Configuration: The currency used in the attendance or absence record may not be configured correctly in the system. This can happen if the currency is not allowed for the specific type of attendance or absence being processed.
  Employee Master Data: The employee's master data may have a currency that is not compatible with the attendance or absence type.
  Infotype Settings: The infotype settings for attendance or absence may not allow for the currency being used.
  Payroll Area Settings: The payroll area may have restrictions on the currencies that can be used for attendance or absence records.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Currency Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings in SAP (usually in SPRO) and check the settings for currencies related to time management.
  Ensure that the currency you are trying to use is permitted for the specific attendance or absence type.
  
  
  
  Review Employee Master Data:
  
  Check the employee's master data (Infotype 0001 - Organizational Assignment) to ensure that the currency is set correctly.

  Infotype Settings:
  
  Review the infotype settings for attendance (Infotype 2001) and absence (Infotype 2002) to ensure that the currency is allowed.

  Payroll Area Configuration:
