• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYFR_ANI120 - Infotype from &1 to &2 modified ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYFR_ANI120 typically indicates that there has been a modification to an infotype (in this case, an infotype related to payroll or personnel data) between two specified dates. This error often arises in the context of payroll processing or when attempting to make changes to employee data that conflict with existing records.
  Cause:
  
  Data Modification Conflict: The error occurs when there is an attempt to modify an infotype record that has already been changed within the specified date range. For example, if an infotype record was modified for an employee between two dates, and another process tries to change it again, this error may be triggered.
  Locking Issues: The infotype might be locked by another process or user, preventing modifications.
  Incorrect Date Ranges: The date ranges specified in the transaction may not align with the existing records, leading to conflicts.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Records: Review the infotype records for the employee in question to see if there are any modifications that conflict with the changes you are trying to make. You can do this by using transaction codes like PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data).
  Adjust Date Ranges: Ensure that the date ranges you are using for the modification are correct and do not overlap with existing changes. If necessary, adjust the dates to avoid conflicts.
  Unlock Records: If the infotype is locked, you may need to wait for the other process to complete or contact the user who has locked the record to release it.
  Use Correct Transaction: Make sure you are using the appropriate transaction for the changes you want to make. Sometimes, using a different transaction can help avoid conflicts.
  Consult with HR or Payroll Team: If you are unsure about the changes or the implications of modifying certain infotypes, consult with your HR or payroll team for guidance.
