Leave request Error in ESS

Question

Hi Experts,
Greetings !!
One of our user is facing a weird issue while he is trying to apply for a leave through ESS.
He is applying for a leave for absence type ABC for which he is having enough quota, an error message is coming while he is submitting the leave as below:
"No absence quota type 1/01/20 on 17.06.2014" - This error is of absence type XYZ,
More information about this issue:
- Employee has enough quota for which he is trying to apply for leave
- The error message which is showing as error (absence type  XYZ 1/01/20) is a different absence type and this absence type is delimited on 31.12.2010.
- Though the leave type is delimited, it is coming as error message for only one employee while he is applying for leave of a different absence type.
Can some one help me providing solution how to fix this issue. Thanks in advance.

In leave request we consider all open requests of absences for validating current request and not necessarily current request that's the reason you get error message for an absence which is not related to the one you are applying read here the concept http://scn.sap.com/thread/2068984 http://scn.sap.com/thread/3508890 Read note 1070831 which explains how quota deduction is done both in leave request and TMW which are based on same technology. So to summarize Absences are picked up for the quota deduction , they are picked in the ascending order of the begin date of the absences \In  the standard TMW framework, when the data is simulated it first backtracks the PA2001 record and based on the ascending order the quota is deducted, therefore the first quota is deducted by the simulated requests and the Infotype 2001 record is deducted from the second Infotype 2006 record. so check for this user if he has any open request ie in sent/approved not yet posted status which ll also account for quota!! and will sorted again in ascending order and all requests will be considered for quota deduction if they are open!
