• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRBAS00_SERVICE406 - Infotype record creation for planned op. with "active" status not allowed ?

  The SAP error message HRBAS00_SERVICE406 typically occurs when there is an attempt to create or modify an infotype record for a planned operation (such as a planned absence or a similar HR-related infotype) that is set to "active" status, but the system does not allow this action due to certain constraints or rules defined in the configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Status Restrictions: The infotype you are trying to create or modify may have restrictions based on its status. For example, if the infotype is already active, the system may not allow changes to be made to it.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the SAP system may restrict the creation of records in certain statuses. This could be due to business rules or specific settings in the infotype configuration.
  Time Constraints: If the date of the planned operation falls outside of the allowed range for changes (e.g., if the operation is already in the past), the system may prevent the creation of a new record.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to create or modify records in the specified infotype.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Status: Verify the current status of the infotype record you are trying to create or modify. If it is already active, you may need to change the status or delete the existing record before creating a new one.
  Review Configuration: Consult with your SAP HR configuration team to review the settings for the specific infotype. They may need to adjust the configuration to allow for the creation of records in the desired status.
  Adjust Dates: Ensure that the dates you are using for the planned operation are within the allowed range for changes. If the operation is in the past, you may need to adjust the date or follow the appropriate process for handling past records.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the action. If not, contact your system administrator to request the required permissions.
