• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRFPM363 - &1 &2 exists only until &3; the infotype, however, is valid until &4 ?

  The SAP error message HRFPM363 indicates a conflict between the validity periods of two different records in the system. Specifically, it suggests that there is an infotype (a type of data record in SAP HR) that is valid until a certain date, but there is another record that exists only until an earlier date. This inconsistency can lead to issues when trying to process or update employee data.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You are trying to create or modify an infotype record that overlaps with another record that has a different validity period.
  The existing record (with validity until &3) is conflicting with the new or modified record (which is valid until &4).
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Validity Dates: Review the validity dates of the infotypes involved. You need to ensure that the records do not overlap in a way that causes conflicts.
  
  
  Adjust Dates: If possible, adjust the validity dates of the conflicting records so that they do not overlap. This may involve:
  
  Extending the validity of the existing record.
  Shortening the validity of the new record.
  Deleting or archiving the conflicting record if it is no longer needed.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Use relevant transaction codes (like PA30 for infotype maintenance) to view and edit the infotype records.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the implications of changing validity dates, consult your organization's HR documentation or SAP guidelines.
  
  
  Check for Related Infotypes: Sometimes, the issue may arise from related infotypes. Ensure that all related records are consistent in terms of validity.
  
  
  Seek Help from SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot resolve it, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting SAP Notes for further assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
