Minimum period spent abroad from ILR point of view

Hello,
I know the Tier 1 Ent. visa allows us to spend 6months per year 'out of the coutry' for business purpose.
But a friend of mine said that while it is o.k to spend 6 months out of country while on visa, but it will create problem at the time of ILR application as ILR application only allows 3 month in year out of country.

Can some one please shred some light on it?
Thanks

Perhaps your friend can shed some light on where he picked up this notion?

ILR is subject to 245AAA and 245DF.

You should not mix the naturalisation (British citizenship) absence limit which is max of 90 days in the final year with the ILR absence limit under Tier 1E which is only 180 days in each year.
