• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYAT_KSB155 - IT3248, IT2001: Overlapping records (&1 - &2) ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYAT_KSB155 indicates that there are overlapping records in the infotypes IT3248 and IT2001. This typically occurs in the context of personnel administration and payroll processing when there are conflicting entries for an employee's data.
  Cause:
  The error arises when there are two or more records in the specified infotypes that have overlapping validity periods. For example, if you have two entries in IT2001 (which is used for basic personal data) that cover the same time frame, or if there are entries in IT3248 (which is used for specific payroll-related data) that overlap, the system will throw this error to prevent inconsistencies in the data.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to identify and correct the overlapping records. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Identify Overlapping Records:
  
  Use transaction codes such as PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to check the records in infotypes IT3248 and IT2001 for the employee in question.
  Look for entries that have overlapping validity periods.
  
  
  
  Adjust Validity Periods:
  
  If you find overlapping records, you will need to either delete or adjust the validity periods of the conflicting records. Ensure that each record has a unique validity period that does not overlap with others.
  
  
  
  Check for Related Infotypes:
  
  Sometimes, the issue may not be limited to just IT3248 and IT2001. Check other related infotypes that might also have overlapping records.
  
  
  
  Consult with HR or Payroll Team:
  
  If you are unsure about which records to modify or delete, consult with your HR or payroll team to ensure that the changes you make are in line with company policies and do not affect payroll processing.
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the changes by running the payroll process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
