Unable to Submit Payroll Entry Due to Unmarked Attendance Handling

I have added employee attendance data for the period from February 1st to February 28th, 2023, intentionally leaving three days of attendance unmarked. When creating the Payroll Entry, I ensured that the payroll period was set correctly and selected the “Validate Attendance” checkbox. As expected, the system flagged the three unmarked attendance days for the employee.

However, I am unable to submit the Payroll Entry, and it is showing an error.

In Payroll Settings, I have selected the “Absent” option under Consider Unmarked Attendance As. Could anyone advise if I missed any additional steps or configurations?

" Consider Unmarked Attendance As => Absent" will be considered absent in the salary slip, not in the payroll entry, so if you want to submit your payroll entry, then you will have to uncheck the “Validate Attendance” checkbox, or you will have to manually mark it as absent. Only then can you submit the payroll entry.
