• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5H108 - Adjust the validity period of the dependent infotypes ?

  The SAP error message 5H108, "Adjust the validity period of the dependent infotypes," typically occurs in the context of Human Capital Management (HCM) when there is a mismatch in the validity periods of infotypes for an employee. Infotypes are data structures in SAP that store specific information about employees, such as personal data, organizational assignment, and payroll data.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you are trying to create or modify an infotype, and the validity period of that infotype does not align with the validity periods of other dependent infotypes. For example, if you are trying to enter a new infotype record that has a validity period that overlaps with another infotype that has a different validity period, SAP will throw this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the validity periods of the infotypes are consistent. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Check Existing Infotypes: Review the existing infotypes for the employee in question. You can do this by using transaction code PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data). Look for infotypes that may have overlapping or conflicting validity periods.
  
  
  Adjust Validity Periods: If you find that the validity periods of the dependent infotypes do not match, you will need to adjust them. This can involve:
  
  Changing the validity period of the infotype you are trying to create or modify.
  Modifying the validity period of the existing infotypes to ensure they align with the new infotype.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like PA30 to maintain the infotypes and adjust their validity periods. Make sure to save your changes.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the validity periods or how to adjust them, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your HR or SAP support team for guidance.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, try to create or modify the infotype again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Infotype Validity: Each infotype has a validity period defined by a start date and an end date. It is crucial to ensure that these dates do not conflict with other infotypes.
  Infotype Relationships: Some infotypes are dependent on others, meaning that their validity periods must be coordinated. For example, if an employee's organizational assignment changes, the validity of related infotypes (like payroll or personal data) may also need to be adjusted.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to this error message, as there may be known issues or additional guidance provided by SAP.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the 5H108 error and ensure that the infotype validity periods are correctly aligned.
