Diagnosis
This employee does not have the correct subtype record for infotypeSMP/SAP/SPP GB (0088), valid for the period for which you aretrying to create this statutory absence.
The type of statutory absence you wish to create (for example, StatutoryAdoption Leave), can only be created where a respective infotype 0088subtype record (for example, SAP ) exists.

System Response
The SAP System does not allow you to save this absence.

Procedure
You should check that this employee has a infotype SMP/SAP/SPP GB(0088) record. If there is a record, check its validity, and makesure you only create an infotype Absences (2001) record that hasbeen customised as a statutory absence, within the validity daterange of that record.
If there is no record, create an infotype 0088 record for this employee.This infotype record must always be in place before you can create astatutory absence record in infotype 2001.
Check that the absence customising in table Attendance and AbsenceTypes (T554S) is correct, and that the absence type corresponds tothe infotype SMP/SAP/SPP GB (0088) record for this employee.

Example
An employee has given notice of intention to take Statutory PaternityLeave, for the expected birth of a child. Before creating a statutorypaternity absence record in infotype 2001, you must ensure that aninfotype 0088 record with subtype SPPB is created for thisabsence.
You can then create paternity absences (within the validity of theinfotype 0088 record) in infotype Absences (2001).
