Work Time objects (represented by Absences on the Planning&Dispatching Board) can be deleted or updated in SAP FSM. These actions are reflected in SAP ECC/S4.
Work Time deletion
Update not allowed
During processing of a work time with deletion indicator, the setting ‘Upd Rel Docs’ in transaction /PACG/ECM_CTET - Time posting settings is checked. When not enabled, the idoc gets status 51 and a special log with key of the related document.

Confirmations are reverted
The direct act. allocation document is reversed
