• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPBSDERECL019 - Higher duty (infotype 0509) exists on reclassification date &1 ?

  The SAP error message HRPBSDERECL019 indicates that there is a conflict related to the "Higher Duty" infotype (0509) during a reclassification process. This error typically arises when you attempt to reclassify an employee's position or job role, but there is an existing record in the Higher Duty infotype that overlaps with the reclassification date.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  There is an active record in infotype 0509 (Higher Duty) that has a validity period overlapping with the date you are trying to perform the reclassification.
  The system does not allow reclassification if there is an ongoing higher duty assignment, as it may lead to inconsistencies in employee data.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Infotype 0509 Records:
  
  Go to the employee's master data and check the records in infotype 0509 (Higher Duty).
  Identify the record(s) that overlap with the reclassification date.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Higher Duty Record:
  
  If the higher duty assignment is no longer valid, you may need to end the record by entering an end date that is before the reclassification date.
  If the higher duty assignment is still valid, you may need to postpone the reclassification until the higher duty assignment is completed.
  
  
  
  Reclassify After Adjustments:
  
  Once the conflicting higher duty record is adjusted or removed, you can proceed with the reclassification process.
  
  
  
  Consult with HR:
  
  If you are unsure about making changes to the higher duty records, consult with your HR department or the person responsible for employee data management to ensure compliance with company policies.
