• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CR392 - Shift end & is after start of first shift & ?

  The SAP error message CR392 ("Shift end is after start of first shift") typically occurs in the context of shift planning or scheduling within the SAP system, particularly in modules related to Human Capital Management (HCM) or Production Planning (PP). This error indicates that there is a conflict in the defined shift timings, where the end time of a shift is set to occur after the start time of the first shift, which is not logically valid.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Shift Configuration: The shift timings may have been incorrectly configured in the system. For example, if the end time of a shift overlaps or is set after the start time of the first shift, this error will occur.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors while defining shifts or scheduling can lead to this issue.
  Shift Overlap: If there are overlapping shifts defined for the same time period, it can cause conflicts leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Shift Definitions: Check the shift definitions in the system. Ensure that the end time of each shift is logically set before the start time of the subsequent shift.
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration area (e.g., SPRO -> Personnel Management -> Time Management -> Work Schedules -> Define Shift Planning).
  
  
  Adjust Shift Timings: Modify the shift timings to ensure that the end time of the shift does not exceed the start time of the first shift.
  Check for Overlaps: Ensure that there are no overlapping shifts defined for the same time period. If overlaps exist, adjust the timings accordingly.
  Validate Data Entry: If the shifts were entered manually, double-check for any data entry mistakes that could have led to this error.
  Testing: After making adjustments, test the changes by attempting to save or process the shifts again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed guidance on shift planning and configuration.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
  
  PT01: Maintain Work Schedules
  PT03: Maintain Shift Sequences
  
  
  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is involved in shift planning, check for any user exits or Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) that might be affecting the shift definitions.
  Support: If the issue persists after making adjustments, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the CR392 error and ensure that your shift planning is correctly configured.
