• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRGB_GBSXP683 - SPL/ShPP &1: Leave Start not allowed until M/A's RTW ?

  The SAP error message HRGB_GBSXP683 indicates that there is an issue with the leave start date in relation to the employee's return-to-work (RTW) status after a medical absence (M/A). This error typically arises in the context of managing employee leave and absence records in SAP HR (Human Resources) modules.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when an employee is attempting to start a leave (such as sick leave or parental leave) before they have officially returned to work from a previous medical absence. The system enforces this rule to ensure that employees do not overlap leave periods inappropriately, which could lead to issues with payroll, compliance, or employee management.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Employee's Absence Records: Review the employee's absence records to confirm their current status. Ensure that the employee has officially returned to work from their previous medical absence.
  
  
  Update Return-to-Work Date: If the employee has returned to work but the system does not reflect this, you may need to update the return-to-work date in the employee's records. This can usually be done through the SAP HR module by accessing the employee's absence management screen.
  
  
  Adjust Leave Start Date: If the leave request is valid but the start date is incorrect, adjust the leave start date to a date that is after the employee's return-to-work date.
  
  
  Consult with HR: If you are unsure about the employee's leave status or how to make the necessary changes, consult with your HR department or the person responsible for managing employee absences.
  
  
  System Configuration: In some cases, the error may be related to system configuration settings. If the issue persists, it may be necessary to involve your SAP HR technical team to review the configuration related to absence management.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP HR Module: This error is specific to the SAP HR module, which manages employee data, including absences, leave requests, and payroll.
