• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5K755 - &1 : Overlapping ROEs detected period &2 to &3. Pernr rejected ?

  The SAP error message 5K755 indicates that there are overlapping Records of Employment (ROEs) for a specific employee (PERNR) within a defined period. This typically occurs in the context of payroll processing or when generating ROEs for employees in Canada, where the ROE is a critical document for employment insurance purposes.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  There are multiple ROEs for the same employee (PERNR) that cover overlapping periods. 
  The system detects that the dates of the existing ROE conflict with the dates of the new ROE being processed.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Existing ROEs:
  
  Check the existing ROEs for the employee in question. You can do this by accessing the relevant transaction in SAP (e.g., using transaction code PA20 or PA30 to view the employee's records).
  Identify the ROEs that overlap with the period specified in the error message.
  
  
  
  Adjust ROE Dates:
  
  If the overlapping ROEs are incorrect, you may need to adjust the dates of the existing ROEs. This could involve:
  
  Modifying the end date of the previous ROE.
  Creating a new ROE with the correct dates if the previous one is not valid.
  
  
  
  
  
  Delete or Correct ROEs:
  
  If an ROE is no longer valid, you may need to delete it or correct it to ensure that there are no overlaps.
  Ensure that any changes made are compliant with local regulations regarding employment records.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the ROE:
  
  After resolving the overlapping issues, attempt to reprocess the ROE for the employee.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's guidelines for handling ROEs to ensure compliance with local laws and regulations.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  ROE Requirements: In Canada, employers are required to issue an ROE when an employee experiences an interruption of earnings. The ROE must accurately reflect the employee's work history and earnings.
  SAP Modules: This error is typically encountered in the SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) module, specifically in the payroll processing area.
  Testing Changes: After making changes, it is advisable to test the payroll run in a development or quality environment before applying changes in production.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP HCM for further assistance.
