How To Fix HRBEN00INFOTYPES012 - Records of this infotype cannot be delimited

HRBEN00INFOTYPES012 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRBEN00INFOTYPES - Error Messages for Benefits - Infotypes

• Message number: 012

• Message text: Records of this infotype cannot be delimited

What causes this issue?

The <LS>Delimit</> function is inactive for records of this infotype.
These infotype records either are valid only for a certain key date
(rather than for a whole period), so that delimitation of records makes
no sense, or may have been created automatically by the system, meaning
that you should not modify them manually.

How to fix this error?

If the infotype records are valid only for a certain key date, then you
can only delete or change them. These records cannot be delimited.
If the infotype records were created automatically, then you may
manually change them individually within HR Master Data. To do so,
execute transaction <ZH>PA30</>, then modify the relevant record(s) in
<LS>Change</> mode.
