• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FITVPS063 - Selection is not possible. Overlapping with several absences ?

  The SAP error message FITVPS063, which states "Selection is not possible. Overlapping with several absences," typically occurs in the context of managing employee absences in SAP, particularly when using the Time Management module. This error indicates that the system has detected overlapping absence records for an employee, which prevents the selection or processing of a new absence record.
  Cause:
  
  
  Overlapping Absences: The primary cause of this error is that the absence you are trying to enter overlaps with existing absence records for the same employee. For example, if an employee is already marked as absent from January 1 to January 5, and you attempt to enter another absence for January 3 to January 4, the system will flag this as an error.
  
  
  Incorrect Date Ranges: The absence dates you are trying to enter may not be correctly aligned with the existing records, leading to overlaps.
  
  
  Multiple Absence Types: If there are different types of absences (e.g., sick leave, vacation) that overlap in their date ranges, this can also trigger the error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Absences: Review the existing absence records for the employee in question. You can do this by navigating to the relevant infotype (e.g., IT2001 for Absences) and checking the date ranges.
  
  
  Adjust Dates: If you find that the new absence overlaps with an existing one, you will need to adjust the dates of the new absence or the existing ones to eliminate the overlap.
  
  
  Use Different Absence Types: If the absences are of different types and you need to record them simultaneously, check if the system allows for such configurations. In some cases, you may need to consult with your HR or SAP administrator to understand the configuration settings.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's guidelines on managing absences to ensure compliance with policies and procedures.
  
  
  Error Handling: If you believe there should not be any overlaps, it may be worth checking for data entry errors or consulting with your SAP support team to investigate further.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) or PA20 (Display HR Master Data) to view and manage absence records.
  Infotypes: Understand the relevant infotypes related to absences, such as IT2001 (Absences) and IT2002 (Attendances).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message, as there may be updates or fixes available.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be necessary to escalate the issue to your SAP support team for further investigation.
