Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAD_DELIMIT010 - Employee group is only valid until &1; select another group ?

  The SAP error message HRPAD_DELIMIT010 indicates that the employee group you are trying to assign to an employee is only valid until a specific date (denoted by &1). This typically occurs in the context of personnel administration when you are trying to assign an employee to a group that is no longer valid based on the date of the action you are performing.
  Cause:
  
  Date Validity: The employee group has a defined validity period, and the date you are trying to use for the assignment is beyond this period.
  Configuration Issues: The employee group may have been configured with a specific end date in the system, which restricts its use after that date.
  Data Entry Error: There may be a mistake in the date you are entering or the employee's data that is causing the system to reject the assignment.
  
  Solution:
  
  Select a Valid Employee Group: Check the validity of the employee groups available in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration or using transaction codes like PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to view the employee's current data and the groups available.
  Update the Employee Group: If the employee should belong to a different group, select a valid employee group that is active and applicable for the date of the action.
  Modify Validity Dates: If you have the necessary permissions, you may consider extending the validity of the employee group in the configuration settings. This typically requires access to the SAP configuration (SPRO) and should be done with caution, as it may affect other employees or processes.
  Check for Data Consistency: Ensure that the employee's data is consistent and that there are no other issues that might be causing the error.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as PA30 for maintaining HR master data, PA40 for personnel actions, and SPRO for configuration settings.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help files related to personnel administration and employee group configurations for more detailed guidance.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that you have the appropriate roles and permissions to make changes to employee groups and their validity periods.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP HR module administrator or technical support for further assistance.
