• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HR001PL052 - Adjust all dates for a given table record so that they do not overlap ?

  The SAP error message HR001PL052 indicates that there is an issue with overlapping date ranges in a specific table record, typically related to personnel administration or time management. This error often arises when trying to enter or modify records in the system where the validity periods of different records overlap, which is not allowed in SAP HR.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following scenarios:
  
  Overlapping Validity Periods: You may have multiple records for the same employee (e.g., infotypes like 0000, 0001, 0002) that have overlapping start and end dates.
  Incorrect Data Entry: When entering new records, the dates may have been entered incorrectly, leading to overlaps with existing records.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system, it may not have been cleaned properly, resulting in overlapping date ranges.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the HR001PL052 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Overlapping Records:
  
  Use transaction codes like PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to check the infotypes for the employee in question.
  Look for infotypes that have overlapping date ranges.
  
  
  
  Adjust Dates:
  
  Modify the start and end dates of the records to ensure that they do not overlap. This may involve:
  
  Changing the end date of an existing record to be the day before the start date of the new record.
  Changing the start date of a new record to be the day after the end date of the existing record.
  
  
  Ensure that the changes maintain the logical sequence of events (e.g., employment periods, leave periods).
  
  
  
  Check Related Infotypes:
  
  Ensure that all related infotypes (e.g., 0000, 0001, 0002) are checked for overlaps, as the error can be triggered by any of them.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes and check if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Infotypes: In SAP HR, infotypes are used to store specific types of data related to employees. Each infotype has a validity period defined by start and end dates.
  Date Overlap Rules: SAP enforces strict rules regarding date overlaps to maintain data integrity. Understanding these rules is crucial for data entry and management.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for HR data management, such as PA20, PA30, PA40 (for actions), and others.
  
  If the issue persists after checking and adjusting the dates, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP HR administrator or support team for further investigation.
