This error is often related to the configuration of absence types in SAP, which may have specific rules based on the employee's gender.
  Cause:
  
  Gender-Specific Absence Types: Certain absence types in SAP may be configured to be applicable only to employees of a specific gender (e.g., maternity leave for female employees).
  Employee Master Data: The employee's gender may not be correctly maintained in their master data, leading to discrepancies when processing absence requests.
  Configuration Issues: The absence type may be incorrectly configured in the system, leading to restrictions that do not align with the intended use.
  
  Solution:

  Ensure that the gender is correctly maintained and reflects the employee's actual gender.
  
  
  
  Review Absence Type Configuration:

  Ensure that the absence type is correctly set up and that any gender restrictions are appropriate.
  
  
  
  Adjust Absence Request:
  
  If the absence type is indeed gender-specific, ensure that the employee is applying for an absence type that is appropriate for their gender.
  If the absence type is incorrectly restricted, consider modifying the configuration to allow for broader eligibility.
  
  
  
  Consult with HR or SAP Support:
