Question

Hello SAP HR Experts,
Please help me with the below query:
In the holiday calendar, i have entered 9 public holidays.
I've 3 optional holidays to be entered in the holiday calendar. Employees are eligible for ANY 1 holiday out of the 3 optional holidays. For those employees who do not wish to avail this optional holiday - it shall lapse for them.
Request you to help me with the configuration for the same.

Hi,
Create 9 holidays with Holiday class 1 .
Create 3 optional holidays with Holiday class 3.
Next you need modify your day types as per below.
Now holiday class 3 will be unpaid.
Now create an absence types called Optional Holiday and create Absence quota with Constant 1 in V_T559E table.
Then generate quotas which would One day per year .
Now we need to put restriction while applying Optional holiday leave type it should allow to create a record only when holiday class is 3. To get holiday use FM HR_PERSON_READ_WORK_SCHEDULE”  ,then check the holiday class(FTKLA) is equal to three then only allow the user to create a record.
If employees tries to take more than one optional holiday , SAP standard message will be raised at the time of applying for the 2nd optional holiday.  "Not enough quota"
BADI at ESS level : PT_ABS_REQ
BADI at R/3 leavel : HRPAD00INFTY The above FM needs to be used in both the BADI's.
