• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAD_DELIMIT028 - Work contract is valid until &1; modify the organizational assignment ?

  The SAP error message HRPAD_DELIMIT028 indicates that there is an issue with the validity of a work contract in relation to the organizational assignment of an employee. Specifically, it means that the work contract is valid until a certain date (denoted by &1), and any attempt to modify the organizational assignment is being blocked because the current assignment is outside the validity period of the work contract.
  Cause:
  
  Work Contract Validity: The work contract for the employee is set to expire on a specific date, and the system is preventing changes to the organizational assignment because the assignment would extend beyond this date.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the employee's data, such as overlapping contracts or incorrect dates in the organizational assignment.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that enforce strict checks on the validity of work contracts against organizational assignments.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Work Contract Dates: Review the work contract details for the employee. Ensure that the contract is valid for the period you are trying to assign the employee to a new organizational unit.
  Modify the Work Contract: If the organizational assignment needs to be changed, consider extending the validity of the work contract if appropriate. This can be done through the relevant HR transaction (e.g., PA30 for infotype maintenance).
  Adjust Organizational Assignment: If the work contract cannot be modified, you may need to adjust the organizational assignment to ensure it falls within the valid period of the work contract.
  Consult HR Master Data: Use transaction codes like PA20 or PA30 to check the employee's master data and ensure that all relevant infotypes (e.g., IT0001, IT0002, IT0006) are correctly maintained.
  Check for Overlapping Contracts: Ensure that there are no overlapping contracts that could be causing the issue. If there are multiple contracts, ensure they are correctly set up and do not conflict with each other.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Infotypes: Familiarize yourself with relevant infotypes such as IT0001 (Organizational Assignment), IT0002 (Personal Data), and IT0006 (Addresses) to ensure all data is consistent.
  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to employee data.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional guidance or patches that may address the issue.
  Testing: After making changes, test the organizational assignment again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP HR module support team or refer to SAP documentation for further troubleshooting.
