In Releases 2.x and 3.x, you could use personnel calculation
rules to calculate time quotas and transfer them
To the Absence Quotas infotype (2006) using operation
UPDTQ
To the Leave Entitlement infotype (0005) using operation
UPDLE
This was a very flexible method of generating absence
entitlements, however, users required a sound technical knowledge
to use the personnel calculation rules correctly.
For Release 4.0A, the functionality for calculating and
generating absence entitlement in time evaluation has been extended
considerably. You can now create calculation rules using table
customizing instead of personnel calculation rules. You can check
the results of the calculation using the new Quota
overview user interface (PT50), and change them manually if
required.
