• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRECM00LTI002 - Gaps or overlapping time periods in table T71LTI02 for LTI plan & ?

  The SAP error message HRECM00LTI002 indicates that there are gaps or overlapping time periods in the time evaluation table T71LTI02 for a Long-Term Incentive (LTI) plan. This error typically arises during the processing of LTI plans when the system detects inconsistencies in the time periods defined for the LTI awards.
  Cause:
  
  
  Overlapping Time Periods: This occurs when two or more entries in the T71LTI02 table have overlapping date ranges for the same employee or plan. For example, if one entry is valid from January 1 to December 31 and another entry is valid from June 1 to December 31, this would create an overlap.
  
  
  Gaps in Time Periods: This happens when there are breaks in the time periods that should be continuous. For instance, if there is an entry valid from January 1 to March 31 and another from April 1 to December 31, the gap between March 31 and April 1 would trigger this error.
  
  
  Incorrect Data Entry: Manual errors during data entry or incorrect configuration of the LTI plan can lead to these inconsistencies.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review the Entries: Check the entries in the T71LTI02 table for the specific LTI plan. Look for overlapping or gap periods for the same employee. You can use transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to view the table data.
  
  
  Correct Overlaps and Gaps:
  
  If you find overlapping periods, you will need to adjust the date ranges so that they do not overlap. This may involve splitting an entry into two or more entries or adjusting the start and end dates.
  For gaps, ensure that there are no breaks in the time periods. You may need to create new entries to fill in the gaps.
  
  
  
  Data Validation: Implement validation checks during data entry to prevent future occurrences of this error. This can include checks for overlapping dates or gaps in the time periods.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help notes related to LTI plans and the T71LTI02 table for specific guidelines on how to manage time periods effectively.
  
  
  Testing: After making corrections, test the changes in a development or quality assurance environment before applying them to the production system.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like SE16 (Data Browser) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to access and analyze the T71LTI02 table.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or solutions related to this error message.
  LTI Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the LTI plan in the SAP system to ensure they are set up correctly.
