Steps to configure Absence Quotas…
Hi there,
I have recently configured some absence quotas for a project I am working on. Reading the discussions in the SCN forum, I notice just how many other consultants are experience problems when configuring them.
I always refer to a check list (as I don’t ever rely on my memory!) and wondered if it could be of benefit to others.
You won’t go wrong following these simple steps when entering the world of an absence quota!
Define the absence type
- Group personnel subareas for attendances and absences (V_001P_D)
- Define absence type (V_T554S)
Define the absence quota type
- Group employee subgroups for time quotas (V_503_E)
- Group personnel subareas for time quotas (V_001P_I)
- Define absence quota type (V_T556A)
- Define deduction rule for absence quotas (V_556R_B)
- Define and assign the deduction/counting rules
- Define deduction rule for absence quotas (V_556R_B)
- Define counting rule and assign deduction rule to it (T556C)
- Assign counting rule to an absence type (V_554S_Q)
Define the generation rule
- Permit quota generation without time evaluation (V_556A_B)
- Specify rule groups for quota type selection (Feature QUOMO)
- Set personnel subarea groupings for time recording (V_001P_H)
- Base entitlement (V_T559E)
- Validity interval of absence quota type (T559V)
- Deduction interval of absence quota type (V_T559D)
- Define rules for reducing quota entitlements (T559M)
- Define rounding rule (V_T559R)
I hope that this helps!

Hi Will,
Thank you for sharing this well-structured summary - much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Katsia
Thanks Katsia, I'm glad it's of some use!
Good job Will 🙂
Thanks Luke! I really appreciate the feedback!
Hi Will,
Thanks a ton, was missing some of the tables mentioned above from my list. How about the whole Time Management? 😉
Ha ha!, how long have you got?!?
Hi Will,
Good Job.. and thanks a lot.
Youre more than welcome Srikanth! Thanks.
Hello Will,
A very good short and descriptive article...very well done... esp with the T-codes provided ... ....absolutely A Grade!!!!! Thanx... provides a look from both the T-codes as well as the links.... so from a rookie point of view ... ➕ advantage!!
Cheers Salman, glad it was appreciated!
Hi Will,
just had one query though .... where does V_T559L feature in the list after which step...can we use it?
Since it has base entitlements, Quota types and Validity/deduction intervals in a single screen so asking....how would you fit it into the series!?!?
Thanx
Salman,
T559L is a table which brings many of the other tables together in one view so it's easier to administrate your quotas, entitlements and generation rules etc. a bit like v_001p_all does for groupings.
I hope this helps,
Will
Hi Will!...Thank you so much for your post!...I'm having trouble with the absence quota in a client, because they want the quota must be monthly, so, I configured that in that way, but when is a new employee, the quota has been created 6 monthly after their date in IT0041. What else can I check?...I already checked your list, and everything would be ok.
I'm from Venezuela....Thank you so much!
Pretty good Mr Jackson! Hope you are well?
Thanks for this, did the job in a nutshell and if you have anymore you want to share, please feel free!!!
Take care 🙂

Hi Will ,
when i tried to generate Absence quota for all employees this error messager appered
"No infotype 0041 exists for personnel no. 00000014 on key date 20151231"
however infotype is Existing for all employees
for your information in selection rule > Base entitlement (Key date for determining seniority) i choose date type (hiring date)
Kindly Advise
Good job done Will 🙂 .

What Will posted was a check list to use when configuring Absence Quotas.
If you require information on how, you should start by reading some documents on the how, available either through the IMG (t-code = spro), on help.sap.com, or on the Time Management Wiki Page (https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/HCM+Time+Management).
