• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRASR00_DT_PROC_DATA034 - Validity period [&1 - &2] is split ?

  The SAP error message HRASR00_DT_PROC_DATA034, which indicates that the validity period is split, typically occurs in the context of HR (Human Resources) processes, particularly when dealing with infotypes or data records that have overlapping or conflicting validity periods.
  Cause:
  The error arises when there are multiple records for the same infotype that have overlapping validity periods. For example, if you have two records for an employee with the same infotype (e.g., infotype 0001 for Organizational Assignment) that cover the same time frame, SAP will not be able to process the data correctly, leading to this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Records: 
  
  Go to the relevant infotype for the employee in question (e.g., PA30 for infotype maintenance).
  Check if there are multiple records with overlapping validity periods.
  
  
  
  Adjust Validity Periods:
  
  If you find overlapping records, you will need to adjust the validity periods. This can involve:
  
  Deleting the conflicting record if it is not needed.
  Modifying the validity dates of one or both records to ensure they do not overlap.
  
  
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  Use transaction codes like PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to view and edit the infotype records.
  You can also use PA20 (Display HR Master Data) to check the records without making changes.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Entry Errors:
  
  Ensure that there are no data entry errors that might have caused the overlap, such as incorrect date entries.
  
  
  
  Consult with HR Team:
  
  If you are unsure about which records to modify or delete, consult with your HR team or the person responsible for maintaining employee records.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
