• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message H1363 - &1 &2 exists only until &3; the infotype, however, is valid until &4 ?

  The SAP error message H1363 indicates a validity issue with an infotype record in the Human Capital Management (HCM) module. Specifically, it suggests that there is a conflict between the validity period of a specific infotype record and the validity period of another related record.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You are trying to create or modify an infotype record (e.g., personal data, organizational assignment) that has a validity period that overlaps with another infotype record.
  The existing record is valid only until a certain date (&3), while the new or modified record is valid until a later date (&4). This creates a conflict because the system does not allow overlapping validity periods for certain infotypes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Records: Review the existing infotype records for the employee in question. Look for the infotype that is causing the conflict and check its validity dates.
  
  
  Adjust Validity Dates: If necessary, adjust the validity dates of the conflicting infotype records. You may need to:
  
  Shorten the validity period of the existing record to ensure it does not overlap with the new record.
  Extend the validity period of the new record to ensure it fits within the existing record's validity.
  
  
  
  Delete or Archive Records: If the existing record is no longer needed, consider deleting or archiving it, provided that this action complies with your organization's data retention policies.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for specific guidelines on handling infotype validity issues.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes (e.g., PA30 for maintaining HR master data) to view and edit infotype records.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Infotypes: Infotypes are data structures in SAP HCM that store specific types of employee-related information (e.g., personal data, payroll data, organizational assignment).
  Validity Period: Each infotype record has a validity period defined by a start date and an end date. The system enforces rules to prevent overlapping validity periods for certain infotypes to maintain data integrity.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message, as there may be updates or fixes provided by SAP.
  
  If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP HCM expert or your organization's SAP support team for further assistance.
