• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRBASSI016 - New entry overlaps with credits from & to & ?

  The SAP error message HRBASSI016, which states "New entry overlaps with credits from & to &," typically occurs in the context of managing employee benefits, payroll, or time management. This error indicates that the new entry you are trying to create (such as a new absence, leave, or credit) overlaps with an existing entry in the system.
  Cause:
  
  
  Overlapping Dates: The most common cause of this error is that the date range of the new entry you are trying to create overlaps with an existing entry in the system. For example, if you are trying to enter a new leave request for a period that partially or fully overlaps with an already existing leave or credit period, this error will be triggered.
  
  
  Incorrect Data Entry: Sometimes, the error can arise from incorrect data entry, such as entering the wrong start or end dates.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: In some cases, the configuration of the system may not allow overlapping entries due to business rules or settings defined in the system.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Entries: Review the existing entries for the employee in question. Look for any overlapping periods that may conflict with the new entry you are trying to create. You can do this by checking the relevant infotypes (e.g., Infotype 2001 for Absences, Infotype 2002 for Attendances).
  
  
  Adjust Dates: If you find that the new entry overlaps with an existing one, you will need to adjust the dates of either the new entry or the existing entry to eliminate the overlap.
  
  
  Delete or Modify Existing Entries: If the existing entry is no longer valid or needs to be changed, consider deleting or modifying it to allow for the new entry.
  
  
  Consult with HR or Payroll: If you are unsure about the entries or how to proceed, consult with your HR or payroll department for guidance. They may have specific policies or procedures in place for handling such situations.
  
  
  System Configuration: If you believe that the system configuration is causing the issue, you may need to work with your SAP administrator or technical team to review the configuration settings related to absence management or payroll processing.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Infotypes: Familiarize yourself with the relevant infotypes in SAP HR, such as Infotype 2001 (Absences) and Infotype 2002 (Attendances), as these are often where you will find the entries causing the overlap.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to this error message. SAP frequently releases notes that may provide additional context or solutions.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or user manuals related to absence management and payroll processing for best practices on managing entries and avoiding overlaps.
