The Orphan Absence Report/Purge process will identify and optionally purge absence detail record records that are missing absence header records. This should under normal situations never happen. It could happen if a power failure occurs during an absence update. Orphan absence records will show up on absence reports but are not accessible on the absence/dispatch screens. For this reason, you should purge then recreate them through Absence Additions.
