This typically occurs in the context of personnel administration or payroll processes within the SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) module.
  Cause:
  
  Status Conflict: The record in question is marked as 'New', which usually means it has not yet been fully processed or approved. However, the system has attempted to send a message (such as a notification or an update) related to this record, which is not allowed because the record is still in a 'New' state.

  Solution:
  
  Check Record Status: Review the status of the record with the specified begin date. Ensure that it is correctly set to 'New' and that all required fields are filled out.
  Process the Record: If the record is indeed 'New', you may need to complete the necessary steps to change its status to 'Active' or 'Processed' before any messages can be sent.
  Review Workflow Configuration: If the issue persists, check the workflow settings to ensure that messages are only sent for records that are in an appropriate status.
  Reprocess the Message: If the record has been updated or processed after the error occurred, try to re-trigger the message sending process.
