• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRGB_PAE503 - PAE Error; TP cannot be applied, EE hired (&) after start of duties (&) ?

  The SAP error message HRGB_PAE503 indicates that there is an issue with the personnel action (PAE) related to an employee (EE) who has been hired after the start of duties. This typically occurs in the context of Human Capital Management (HCM) when trying to process a personnel action for an employee whose hire date is later than the start date of the duties they are supposed to perform.
  Cause:
  
  Hire Date vs. Start Date: The employee's hire date is set after the start date of the duties. This creates a logical inconsistency because the system expects the employee to be hired before they can start performing any duties.
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may have been an error in entering the hire date or the start date of the duties.
  Configuration Issues: There could be issues with the configuration of the personnel action types or the related infotypes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Dates: Verify the hire date and the start date of duties for the employee in question. Ensure that the hire date is earlier than or equal to the start date of duties.
  Correct Data: If the dates are incorrect, update the hire date or the start date of duties accordingly in the employee's master data.
  Review Personnel Action: If the personnel action is being processed incorrectly, review the action type and ensure that it is appropriate for the employee's current status.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's guidelines for handling personnel actions to ensure compliance with the required processes.
  Testing: After making the necessary corrections, test the personnel action again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
