• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRASR00_INFTY034 - Rule &1 does not permit multiple entry for field &2 ?

  The SAP error message HRASR00_INFTY034 indicates that a specific rule (denoted by &1) does not allow multiple entries for a particular field (denoted by &2). This error typically occurs in the context of SAP HR (Human Resources) when working with infotypes, which are data structures used to store employee-related information.
  Cause:
  
  
  Rule Configuration: The error is often caused by the configuration of the rules in the SAP system. The rule associated with the infotype is set up to allow only a single entry for the specified field. This is common in scenarios where unique values are required, such as employee identification numbers or specific dates.
  
  
  Data Entry: The user may be attempting to enter multiple records for a field that is restricted by the defined rules. For example, trying to enter multiple addresses or multiple job roles when the system is configured to allow only one.
  
  
  Infotype Settings: The infotype itself may have settings that restrict the number of entries for certain fields, leading to this error when the user tries to save conflicting data.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Rule Configuration: Check the configuration of the rules associated with the infotype in the SAP system. You may need to adjust the rules to allow multiple entries if that is the desired behavior. This can be done through transaction codes like SPRO (SAP Project Reference Object) to access the configuration settings.
  
  
  Data Entry Correction: Ensure that the data being entered complies with the rules. If the field is meant to have a single entry, review the existing entries and modify or delete any duplicates before attempting to save again.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific infotype and rules to understand the intended use and limitations.
  
  
  Testing: After making any changes to the configuration, conduct tests to ensure that the changes work as expected and do not introduce new issues.
  
  
  User Training: If the error is due to user misunderstanding, consider providing training or guidance on how to correctly enter data into the system.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Infotypes: Infotypes are used in SAP HR to manage employee data. Each infotype has specific fields and rules governing how data can be entered and maintained.

  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.
