• Key Concepts: 
  Absence days are a type of leave entitlement that can be assigned to employees in SAP. This type of leave is used to track the number of days an employee is absent from work due to illness, vacation, or other reasons. The absence days are tracked in the Resource Pool Management (RPM) component of SAP HCM. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To assign absence days to an employee, you must first create a leave entitlement in the RPM component. Once the entitlement is created, you can assign it to the employee and specify the number of days they are allowed to take off. You can also set up rules for how the absence days are used, such as whether they can be taken in full or in increments. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up absence days for an employee, it is important to consider how they will be used. For example, if you want employees to take their leave in full days, you should set up the entitlement accordingly. Additionally, you should ensure that the number of days assigned is sufficient for the employee’s needs.
