• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRFPM_FTE113 - Conversion possible, existing infotype record is delimited ?

  The SAP error message HRFPM_FTE113 indicates that there is an issue with the conversion of a Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) record because the existing infotype record has been delimited. This typically occurs in the context of Human Resources (HR) and Personnel Management when dealing with employee data.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to create or modify an infotype record (such as an employment status or position) that overlaps with an existing record that has already been delimited. In SAP, delimiting a record means that the record is marked as inactive for a certain period, and any new records must respect the validity periods of existing records.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Records: 
  
  Use transaction codes like PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to review the infotype records for the employee in question. Look for any records that are delimited and check their validity periods.
  
  
  
  Adjust Validity Periods:
  
  If you need to create a new record, ensure that the validity period of the new record does not overlap with the delimited record. You may need to adjust the start date of the new record to be after the end date of the delimited record.
  
  
  
  Delimit the Existing Record:
  
  If appropriate, you can also consider delimiting the existing record to free up the validity period for new entries. This can be done in transaction PA30 by selecting the record and choosing the option to delimit it.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to the specific infotype you are working with to understand the rules and constraints regarding record creation and delimitation.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Logic:
  
  If your organization has custom enhancements or logic in place, ensure that these are not interfering with the standard behavior of infotype processing.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Infotypes: In SAP HR, infotypes are data structures used to store employee-related information. Each infotype has a specific purpose and validity period.
  Delimiting Records: Delimiting a record is a common practice in HR data management to ensure that historical data remains intact while allowing for new data entries.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as PA20, PA30, and PA40 (for actions) to manage HR data effectively.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP HR module administrator or a technical consultant for further assistance.
