If vacations are paid in days, you have to create a record in the infotype Absences (2001) subtype Paid vacations (0200). This type of absence is bound to an absence quota (2006); the employee thus needs to be entitled to vacations before the absence can be retrieved. If this is not the case, the creation of the record using the infotype Absences 2001 is not permitted.

If the employee receives payment in cash instead of in days, the settlement takes place using the infotype Time quota payment (0146) subtype Vacations settlement (1001). In this infotype there are two retrieval options:

1. Only register days and the payroll will take charge of applying the daily salary valuation basis.
2. Register days and the amount to be paid for these days.

Both the subtypes of the infotype Time quota payment (0146) and of the infotype Absences (2001) that are related to vacations, are bound to an Absence quota (2006), the use of which limits the settlement of each one of the subtypes.

Once the employee receives the vacations payment, his entitlement to vacation time is reduced. This is represented by the vacations quota in the infotype Vacations quota (2006) or in the infotype Time quota payment (0416), depending on which type of payment the employee has received.
