How To Fix PT_ARCH001 - Leave entitlement (infotype 0005) cannot be destroyed

PT_ARCH001 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: PT_ARCH -

• Message number: 001

• Message text: Leave entitlement (infotype 0005) cannot be destroyed

What causes this issue?

The leave entitlement cannot be destroyed.
This can be for the following reasons:
The deduction end date is after the <LS>Select Data Until</> date and
the time balance is less than or greater than 0.
None of the absences linked to the leave entitlement can be destroyed
since the end date of the absence is after the <LS>Select Data Until</>
date.
The deduction date of a generated leave entitlement is after the
<LS>Select Data Until</> date.

How to fix this error?

For <LS>Select Data Until</>, choose a date that is after or on the
deduction end date.
Ensure that the quota is deducted (time balance is equal to 0) and all
linked absences can be destroyed (absence end date is on or before the
<LS>Select Data Until</> date).
<ZH>Note</>
Generated quotas are not destroyed if the deduction end date for a quota
is after the date until which quotas are to be destroyed. This applies
even if the quota has already been completely deducted.
