• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPADRU_COMMON_REPS017 - Multiple subapplications are active on date &1 for report &2 ?

  The SAP error message HRPADRU_COMMON_REPS017 indicates that there are multiple subapplications active on a specific date for a given report. This typically occurs in the context of HR reporting, where the system expects only one active subapplication for a particular date but finds more than one.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Active Subapplications: The error arises when there are overlapping or conflicting subapplications (like payroll, time management, etc.) that are active on the same date. This can happen due to incorrect configuration or data entry in the HR module.
  Data Overlap: If there are multiple records for the same employee or organizational unit that are valid for the same date, the system cannot determine which one to use for the report.
  Configuration Issues: Sometimes, the configuration settings for the subapplications may not be set up correctly, leading to multiple activations.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Active Subapplications: Review the active subapplications for the employee or organizational unit on the specified date. You can do this by navigating to the relevant infotype (e.g., IT0000, IT0001, etc.) and checking the validity periods.
  Adjust Validity Periods: If you find that there are indeed multiple subapplications active, you may need to adjust the validity periods of these records to ensure that only one is active for the date in question.
  Consult Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP HR configuration team to ensure that the subapplications are set up correctly and that there are no conflicting settings.
  Run Reports with Different Dates: If possible, try running the report for a different date where only one subapplication is active to see if the issue is date-specific.
  Check for Data Consistency: Ensure that there are no inconsistencies in the data that could lead to multiple activations. This may involve checking for duplicate records or incorrect entries.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to check the employee's records.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. Sometimes, SAP releases notes that provide fixes or workarounds for specific error messages.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP HR documentation for more details on subapplications and their configurations.
  
  If the problem continues after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or your internal SAP team for further investigation.
