  The SAP error message HRGB_TPS131 indicates a warning related to a protected employee in the context of the Time Management module. This warning typically arises when there is an attempt to process a time evaluation or a time-related action for an employee who is marked as "protected" in the system. The message specifies that the employee has a certain scheme (indicated by &1) on a specific date (indicated by &2).

  Review Employee Status: Check the employee's status in the system to confirm if they should indeed be marked as protected. If the protection is no longer necessary, consider removing the protected status.
  Check Time Evaluation Scheme: Review the time evaluation scheme assigned to the employee. Ensure that it is appropriate for a protected employee and that it aligns with the company's policies.
  Consult with HR/Payroll: If you are unsure about the implications of changing the employee's protected status or the time evaluation scheme, consult with your HR or Payroll department for guidance.
  Adjust Configuration: If the issue is related to configuration, you may need to adjust the settings in the Time Management module to accommodate protected employees properly.
