• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRECM00ADMVIEWS028 - Specify hire date or other event as begin of waiting period ?

  The SAP error message HRECM00ADMVIEWS028 typically occurs in the context of the SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central module, particularly when dealing with the waiting period for benefits or other employment-related events. This error indicates that the system requires a hire date or another event to be specified as the beginning of the waiting period for certain processes, such as benefits enrollment.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  The system is unable to determine the start date for the waiting period because no hire date or relevant event date has been provided.
  The configuration for the waiting period in the system is not set up correctly, leading to ambiguity about when the waiting period should start.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Employee Data:
  
  Ensure that the employee's hire date is correctly entered in the system. This can usually be found in the employee's profile or personal information section.
  If the employee has had any other relevant events (like a transfer or promotion), ensure those dates are also correctly recorded.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration Settings:
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings for the waiting period in the benefits module. Ensure that the waiting period is set up to reference the correct event (e.g., hire date).
  If necessary, consult with your SAP SuccessFactors administrator or support team to verify that the configuration aligns with your organization's policies.
  
  
  
  Update the Event:
  
  If the waiting period is based on an event other than the hire date, ensure that the event is properly recorded and that the system is configured to recognize it as the start of the waiting period.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary updates, test the process again to ensure that the error no longer appears and that the waiting period is calculated correctly.
