• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PE650 - Absence lasting less than one day for &1 on &2 ignored ?

  The SAP error message PE650 indicates that there is an issue with an absence record that is being processed in the system. Specifically, it means that an absence lasting less than one day for the employee (indicated by &1) on the specified date (indicated by &2) is being ignored.

  Check Absence Type Configuration: Review the configuration of the absence type in the SAP system. Ensure that it is set up to allow for partial-day absences if that is required for your business processes.
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings for absence types in the SAP system (usually found in the IMG under Personnel Management > Time Management > Absences).
