              Most of the employees are getting the error "Conflict with Absences (2001)/Leave Type (IT2001/1001)", while applying for leave. This is due to non process of  leave requests through Employee Portal and feed the leave details in PA30. 


Case 1: Pending request visible in "Leave Overview"

          Open "Leave Overview" in Employee portal with the employee credentials. And check if there are any pending non-approved ( approval awaited) leaves as per the error. If yes, delete the leave requests. Now apply for leave successfully.
