How to delimit an absence with a "gap" period

Question

Hi,
I need to create an absence quota and delimit the deduction period of that.
The problem is that this deduction period has a gap. The user can take his absence leave from 01/01/YEAR to 31/05/YEAR and 01/10/YEAR to 30/04/NEXT_YEAR.
On view V_T559D I just can set a sequencial deduction period.
Do you have any ideas about where to put this verification?
Thanks

If I am not mistaken, GAPS are not permitted in Deduction Intervals. You can still try writing deduction rule in table V_556R_B with required periods, and check for yourself? I am not sure if it will work best, as I foresee you will have to write the rule for each year in above configuration table.
I would rather write a PA User Exit (R/3) or enhance BADI (PT_ABS_REQ) in ESS with logic:
If Absence Start date or end date is equal to 01/01/YEAR to 31/05/YEAR
OR
Absence Start date or end date is equal to 01/10/YEAR to 30/04/NEXT_YEAR
Then Allow
Else
       Error "Absence not permitted in entered period."
End If
