  Cause:
  This error indicates that there is an inconsistency in the validity periods of the infotype records being processed. Specifically, it suggests that there are overlapping or conflicting validity dates for the same infotype (in this case, IT0600) for the same employee. This can happen due to:
  
  Overlapping Records: Two or more records for the same infotype have overlapping validity periods.
  Incorrect Data Entry: Manual entry errors where the start and end dates do not align correctly.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Infotype Records: Use transaction code PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to review the infotype records for the employee in question. Look specifically at IT0600 and check for overlapping validity periods.
  
  
  Correct Overlaps: If you find overlapping records, you will need to adjust the validity dates. Ensure that each record has a unique validity period without overlaps.
  
  
  Delete or Adjust Records: If there are unnecessary records, consider deleting them or adjusting their validity dates to ensure they do not conflict with other records.
  
  
  Consult with HR Team: If you are unsure about which records to modify, consult with your HR team or the person responsible for maintaining employee data to ensure that changes are appropriate.
  
  
  Run Consistency Checks: After making adjustments, run consistency checks or payroll simulations to ensure that the changes have resolved the issue.
  
  
  Documentation: Document any changes made for future reference and to maintain data integrity.
