• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRBPS00REQUEST036 - Date greater than 28 not allowed to input for February in non-leap year ?

  The SAP error message HRBPS00REQUEST036 indicates that there is an issue with a date input for February in a non-leap year. Specifically, it occurs when a date greater than the 28th of February is entered in a year that is not a leap year (which would have February 29).
  Cause:
  
  The error is triggered when a user attempts to enter a date such as February 29 or 30 in a non-leap year. Non-leap years only have 28 days in February, so any date beyond the 28th is invalid.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Year: Verify whether the year you are working with is a leap year or not. Leap years are divisible by 4, but years divisible by 100 are not leap years unless they are also divisible by 400.
  
  For example, the year 2020 is a leap year, but 2021 is not.
  
  
  
  Correct the Date: If you have mistakenly entered a date greater than 28 for February in a non-leap year, change the date to a valid one (i.e., February 28 or earlier).
  
  
  Validation Logic: If you are developing or customizing the SAP application, ensure that there is proper validation logic in place to prevent users from entering invalid dates.
  
  
  User Training: Educate users about the rules regarding date entries, especially concerning February in non-leap years.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Leap Year Calculation: A leap year occurs every 4 years, except for years that are divisible by 100, unless they are also divisible by 400. For example:
  
  2000 is a leap year (divisible by 400)
  1900 is not a leap year (divisible by 100 but not by 400)
  2024 is a leap year (divisible by 4)
  
  
  
  SAP Date Handling: SAP systems have built-in date validation, and it is important to adhere to these rules to avoid errors. 
  
  
  Error Handling: If you encounter this error frequently, consider implementing additional checks in your data entry processes or workflows to catch these errors before they are submitted.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the HRBPS00REQUEST036 error and ensure that date entries are valid.
