SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRBEN00VIEWS - Error Messages for Benefits - Views

• Message number: 078

• Message text: End date cannot be later than end date & from the general data view

What causes this issue?

The end date currently specified for this view entry is after the end
date of the corresponding entry in the view <LS>Benefit
Savings/Miscellaneous Plan General Data</> (table T5UBA), where general
settings for example, the relevancy of contribution variants or
investment groups, are made.
Since these general settings are referenced by the current view entry
and determine the variants that must be provided, the validity period
of this view entry must not include a date on which there is a split in
table T5UBA. Otherwise there would be more than one reference entry in
T5UBA, with potentially contradictary indicator settings.

How to fix this error?

Find the end dates of the entries for this plan in Benefits Customizing
in the activity <LS>Define Savings Plan/Miscellaneous Plan General Data
</>. Return to the current view and create the entries here so that
their validity periods do not contain period splits from the <LS>...
General Data</> view.
