  The SAP error message HRGB_SWF108 indicates that there is an issue with the time constraint for the infotype IT3217 (which is related to the "Time Management" module in SAP HR). Specifically, the error states that the infotype must have a time constraint of 3, but it does not.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the infotype IT3217 is expected to have a time constraint of 3, which means that it can have multiple records for the same period, but only one record can be valid at any given time. If the infotype is not set up correctly in the system or if the data being processed does not meet this requirement, the error will be triggered.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Infotype Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SPRO and navigate to the following path:
  Personnel Management -> Personnel Administration -> Customizing Procedures -> Infotypes -> Define Infotype Characteristics
  
  Look for infotype IT3217 and verify its time constraint settings. Ensure that it is set to time constraint 3.
  
  
  
  Review Data Entries:
  
  Check the entries for infotype IT3217 for the employee in question. Ensure that there are no overlapping records that violate the time constraint.
  You can use transaction code PA20 (Display HR Master Data) to view the infotype records for the employee.
  
  
  
  Correct Data:
  
  If you find any overlapping records or incorrect entries, you may need to delete or adjust them to ensure compliance with the time constraint.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the changes by trying to save the infotype again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration or the implications of changing the time constraint, consult SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP HR consultant for guidance.
