  Cause:
  
  Historical Record Deletion: The error arises when an attempt is made to modify an object that has had its historical data deleted. In SAP HR, historical records are often maintained for auditing and reporting purposes. If these records are removed, any attempt to change the current record may trigger this error.

  Restore Historical Data: If the historical records were deleted in error, you may need to restore them. This could involve re-entering the data or retrieving it from a backup if available.
  Use Correct Transaction: Ensure that you are using the correct transaction code for the operation you are trying to perform. Sometimes, using a different transaction can bypass the issue if it is related to the specific transaction being used.

  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings related to data retention and historical record management in your SAP system. There may be settings that dictate how historical data is handled.
