  The SAP error message HR001PL053 indicates that there is an issue with the validity dates of a record in the Human Resources (HR) module. Specifically, it means that the start and end dates for a record (such as an employee's position, pay scale, or other HR-related data) are not properly defined or are overlapping in a way that is not allowed.

  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Records: Review the existing records for the employee or object in question to ensure that there are no overlapping validity periods. Adjust the dates as necessary.
  Correct Date Entry: Ensure that the start date is earlier than the end date. If you are entering a new record, make sure that the dates do not conflict with existing records.
  Fill in Missing Dates: If either the start date or end date is missing, fill in the appropriate values.
  Use Valid Date Ranges: Ensure that the dates you are entering are within the valid range defined by your organization’s policies or the system configuration.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct date ranges or record types, consult your organization's HR documentation or SAP help resources.
