• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRBAS_ITF021 - Object & & & has not been delimited. Delimitation date > object end date ?

  The SAP error message HRBAS_ITF021 indicates that there is an issue with the delimitation of an object in the Human Resources (HR) module. Specifically, the error states that the object has not been delimited, and the delimitation date is greater than the object's end date. This typically occurs in the context of personnel administration, where certain HR objects (like infotypes) need to be properly delimited to reflect changes in an employee's status or other relevant information.
  Cause:
  
  Delimitation Date Issue: The delimitation date you are trying to set is later than the end date of the object. This means that the system is unable to process the delimitation because it conflicts with the existing data.
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may have been an error in entering the dates for the infotype or object, leading to a mismatch.
  Missing Delimitation: The object may not have been properly delimited in the past, causing issues when trying to make new entries or changes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Dates: Review the dates associated with the object in question. Ensure that the delimitation date is not later than the end date of the object. If it is, you will need to adjust the dates accordingly.
  Delimit the Object: If the object has not been delimited, you may need to perform the delimitation process. This can typically be done in the infotype maintenance screen (e.g., PA30 for personnel administration).
  Correct Data Entry: If there was an error in data entry, correct the dates in the relevant infotype. Make sure that the start and end dates are logical and consistent.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct process for delimiting the object, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your HR module administrator for guidance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Infotypes: In SAP HR, infotypes are used to store data related to employees. Each infotype has a validity period defined by start and end dates.
  Delimitation Process: Delimitation is the process of marking the end of a record's validity. This is crucial for maintaining accurate employee records and ensuring that the system reflects the current status of an employee.
  Transaction Codes: Common transaction codes related to personnel administration include PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data), PA20 (Display HR Master Data), and PA40 (Personnel Actions).
  
  If the issue persists after checking and correcting the dates, it may be necessary to involve your SAP support team or a consultant with expertise in SAP HR to further investigate the problem.
