  The SAP error message HRPADCN116 indicates that there is existing termination information in a specific infotype and subtype for an employee. This typically occurs when you are trying to perform an action that conflicts with the existing termination data, such as trying to rehire an employee or modify their employment status.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  You attempt to process a personnel action (like rehire or change of status) for an employee who has termination information recorded in the specified infotype (usually Infotype 0000 - Actions).
  The infotype and subtype mentioned in the error message contain data that prevents the action you are trying to perform.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Infotype Data:
  
  Use transaction code PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to view the employee's infotype records.
  Look for Infotype 0000 (Actions) and check the subtype mentioned in the error message. Review the termination details.
  
  
  
  Modify or Delete Termination Information:
  
  If the termination information is no longer valid or needs to be updated, you may need to modify or delete the relevant infotype record.
  If you are re-hiring the employee, you may need to create a new action (e.g., rehire action) that properly reflects their current employment status.
  
  
  
  Consult with HR or SAP Support:
  
  If you are unsure about modifying or deleting the termination information, consult with your HR department or SAP support team to ensure compliance with company policies and data integrity.
  
  
  
  Check for Related Actions:
  
  Ensure that there are no other pending actions that might conflict with the termination information. For example, if the employee is still in a probationary period or has pending leave requests, these may need to be resolved first.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Infotype 0000 (Actions): This infotype records all actions taken on an employee's record, including hiring, terminations, and changes in status.

  SAP HR Module: Understanding the structure of the SAP HR module and how infotypes work is crucial for managing employee records effectively.
