• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5R174 - Resignation date is equal to arrival date ! ?

  The SAP error message 5R174, "Resignation date is equal to arrival date," typically occurs in the context of employee management within the SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) module. This error indicates that there is a conflict between the resignation date and the arrival (or hire) date of an employee. Specifically, it means that the system has detected that the date an employee is resigning is the same as the date they were hired, which is not logically valid.
  Cause:
  
  Data Entry Error: The most common cause is a mistake in data entry where the resignation date has been incorrectly set to the same date as the arrival date.
  System Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the employee records or the way the system processes resignation and hiring dates.
  Timing of Events: If an employee is being processed for resignation immediately after being hired, it may lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Dates: Review the employee's records to ensure that the resignation date is set correctly. It should be later than the arrival date.
  Correct Data Entry: If the resignation date is indeed the same as the arrival date, update the resignation date to a valid date that is after the arrival date.
  Review Employee Status: Ensure that the employee's status is correctly set and that there are no conflicting records in the system.
  Consult Documentation: If the issue persists, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP HCM administrator for further troubleshooting.
  Testing: After making corrections, test the process again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
