How To Fix HRGB_GBSXP420 - SSP Error; Table PERIOD HISTORY contains no entries for absence &1 - &2

HRGB_GBSXP420 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRGB_GBSXP - Message for GBSXP

• Message number: 420

• Message text: SSP Error; Table PERIOD HISTORY contains no entries for absence &1 - &2

What causes this issue?

The internal table PERIOD_HISTORY contains all the contiguous(linked)
absences that are relevant to the current absence that is being
processed through GBSXP.
For example, if a Period of Incapacity for Work (PIW) (A) links to an
earlier PIW (B) and from that one to an earlier PIW (C) then:
PERIOD_HISTORY will hold A if GBSXP is processing A.
PERIOD_HISTORY will hold A and B if GBSXP is processing B
PERIOD_HISTORY will hold A, B and C if GBSXP is processing C
Therefore, as a very minimum, the internal table PERIOD_HISTORY must
contain the current absence that is being processed. If this is not the
case, then this error message is generated.
