  The SAP error message PT_FMLA037 indicates that the selected absence type is not being deducted from any Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) rule. This can occur in the context of managing employee absences and FMLA leave in SAP's Time Management module.
  Cause:
  
  Absence Type Configuration: The absence type you are trying to use may not be configured to be deducted from FMLA leave. Each absence type must be linked to the appropriate FMLA rules in the system.
  FMLA Rule Configuration: The FMLA rules themselves may not be set up correctly to recognize the absence type in question.
  Employee Eligibility: The employee may not be eligible for FMLA leave, or the absence may not qualify under the FMLA guidelines.
  Incorrect Absence Selection: The absence selected may not be intended for FMLA deduction, or it may be an absence type that is not applicable under FMLA regulations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Absence Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for absence types in SAP (usually found in the SPRO transaction under Time Management).
  Ensure that the absence type is correctly linked to the FMLA rules.

  Make sure that the rules are set up to recognize the specific absence type.
  
  
  
  Verify Employee Eligibility:
  
  Confirm that the employee is eligible for FMLA leave and that the absence falls within the parameters of FMLA regulations.
  Check the employee's FMLA entitlement and ensure that they have not exhausted their leave.
  
  
  
  Select the Correct Absence:
  
  If the absence type is not meant to be deducted from FMLA, select a different absence type that is configured for FMLA deductions.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP HR module expert to ensure that all configurations are correct and compliant with FMLA regulations.
