• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYFR_ANI111 - Infotype from &1 to &2 not created as it overlaps an existing record ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYFR_ANI111 indicates that there is an attempt to create or modify an infotype record in the Human Resources module, but the new record overlaps with an existing record. This typically occurs when the validity periods of the records conflict, meaning that the start and end dates of the new record fall within the range of an existing record.
  Cause:
  
  Overlapping Dates: The new infotype record you are trying to create has a validity period that overlaps with an existing record in the same infotype for the same employee.
  Incorrect Data Entry: The dates entered for the new record may have been incorrectly specified, leading to an overlap.
  Existing Records: There may be existing records that have not been properly closed or updated, causing conflicts with new entries.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Records: Review the existing infotype records for the employee in question. You can do this by using transaction codes like PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to see the current records and their validity periods.
  
  
  Adjust Dates: If the new record is valid and necessary, adjust the start and end dates of either the new record or the existing record to eliminate the overlap. Ensure that the new record's dates do not fall within the range of any existing records.
  
  
  Delete or Change Existing Records: If the existing record is no longer needed, consider deleting it or changing its validity period to accommodate the new record.
  
  
  Consult with HR Team: If you are unsure about which records to modify or delete, consult with your HR team or the person responsible for maintaining employee records to ensure compliance with company policies.
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction Codes: Ensure you are using the correct transaction codes and following the proper procedures for entering or modifying infotype records.
