Use
You can use the Absence Quotas infotype (2006) to store approvals for times during which the employee is permitted to be off work. These absences may be recorded only if an appropriate quota has been assigned to the employee in infotype 2006. The absences are deducted from this absence quota.
Absences with quota deduction are defined in the Absences infotype (2001). When you record an absence which reduces a quota, the system checks whether the relevant quotas have been created in the Absence Quotas infotype (2006), and that they are not yet used up.Absence quotas can also be accumulated automatically by the time evaluation program.
You cannot change these quotas manually.
A variety of mechanisms to simplify the recording of absence quotas. When you create an absence quota, particular fields are filled with default values according to your system settings. If necessary, you can overwrite the default values. It is important that you set the validity period of the record before you create it.
