You can grant absence quotas according to the following business requirements or standard and legal agreements:

  • A general absence entitlement for a particular period, for example, the general annual leave in advance for one leave year

  • A proportionate absence entitlement dependent on performance, for example, according to the time worked in the previous period

  • A proportionate absence entitlement periodically, for example, a proportionate annual leave entitlement for each month or payroll period

  • Absence entitlements on the basis of special activities, for example, time in lieu of overtime

The SAP System enters the absence entitlements in the Absence Quotas infotype (2006) as a deductible quota.

You can accrue absence quotas within time recording or in day processing of time evaluation. It is not planned to integrate the function in day processing of time data in payroll .
