• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAD_BOL002 - Infotype object &1 already exists and is complete in model HRPAD ?

  The SAP error message HRPAD_BOL002 indicates that there is an attempt to create or modify an infotype record in the HR module, but the system has detected that an infotype object already exists and is marked as complete in the specified model (in this case, the model is HRPAD).
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entry: The most common cause of this error is that there is already an existing infotype record for the employee or object you are trying to create or modify. This could happen if the infotype was previously created and not deleted or if there was an attempt to create it again without proper checks.
  Status of Infotype: The infotype might be in a status that does not allow further modifications (e.g., it is marked as complete).
  Model Configuration: There may be specific configurations in the HR model that restrict the creation of new records under certain conditions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Records: 
  
  Use transaction codes like PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to check if the infotype record already exists for the employee or object in question.
  If it exists, review the details to determine if it needs to be modified or if a new record is necessary.
  
  
  
  Modify or Delete Existing Record:
  
  If the existing infotype is not needed, you can delete it using PA30.
  If it needs to be modified, ensure that you are following the correct procedures to update the record.
  
  
  
  Review Infotype Status:
  
  If the infotype is complete and should not be modified, consider whether a new infotype record is appropriate or if the existing one should be re-evaluated.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Review any relevant documentation or guidelines related to the specific infotype and the HR model to ensure compliance with business rules.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration: 
  
  If you have access, check the configuration settings for the HR model to see if there are any restrictions or specific settings that might be causing this issue.
  
  
  
  Contact Support: 
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP HR expert for further assistance.
