• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRITFAT001 - This period is not permitted for the infotype. ?

  The SAP error message HRITFAT001 ("This period is not permitted for the infotype") typically occurs when you are trying to maintain or access an infotype (such as personal data, organizational assignment, etc.) for a period that is not allowed based on the configuration or the data in the system.
  Causes:
  
  
  Date Range Issues: The date you are trying to enter or modify may fall outside the valid date range for the infotype. Each infotype has specific validity periods, and if the date you are using is not within that range, this error will occur.
  
  
  Infotype Configuration: The infotype may be configured to only allow certain periods for data entry. For example, if the infotype is set to allow changes only for the current year, trying to enter data for a previous or future year could trigger this error.
  
  
  Data Locking: The infotype might be locked for changes due to various reasons, such as being in a closed payroll period or due to specific organizational policies.
  
  
  Personnel Actions: If the infotype is linked to a specific personnel action, and that action is not valid for the date you are trying to enter, you may encounter this error.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Validity Dates: Verify the validity dates of the infotype you are trying to maintain. Ensure that the date you are entering falls within the allowed range.
  
  
  Review Infotype Configuration: Consult with your SAP HR administrator or configuration team to review the settings for the infotype. They can check if there are any restrictions on the periods allowed for that infotype.
  
  
  Use Correct Personnel Actions: Ensure that you are using the correct personnel action that corresponds to the date and type of change you are trying to make.
  
  
  Check for Locks: Investigate if there are any locks on the infotype or if the payroll period is closed. If so, you may need to wait until the period is open or request a temporary unlock.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on the infotype in question and its configuration.
  
  
  Contact Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team for further assistance. They can provide insights based on the specific configuration and data in your system.
