• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPBSSG008 - Record delimited due to overlap with the period & to & ?

  The SAP error message HRPBSSG008 indicates that there is an issue with the time period defined for a specific record in the Human Resources module. This error typically arises when there is an overlap in the validity periods of records, such as infotypes, for an employee. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  
  Overlapping Validity Periods: The error occurs when you try to create or modify a record (e.g., an infotype record) that has a validity period that overlaps with an existing record for the same employee. For example, if you are trying to enter a new record with a start date that falls within the validity period of an existing record, SAP will throw this error.
  
  
  Incorrect Data Entry: Sometimes, the error can be caused by incorrect data entry, such as entering dates that do not follow the expected sequence (e.g., a start date that is after an end date).
  
  
  Configuration Issues: In some cases, the configuration of the infotype or the way the system is set up to handle overlapping records may lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Records: Review the existing records for the employee in question. Look for any infotypes that have overlapping validity periods. You can do this by using transaction codes like PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data).
  
  
  Adjust Dates: If you find overlapping records, you may need to adjust the start and end dates of the records to ensure that there are no overlaps. This may involve changing the validity period of the existing record or the new record you are trying to create.
  
  
  Delete or Archive Records: If the overlapping record is no longer needed, consider deleting or archiving it, provided that this action complies with your organization's data retention policies.
  
  
  Consult with HR or SAP Support: If you are unsure about how to proceed or if the issue persists, consult with your HR department or SAP support team for assistance. They may have specific guidelines or tools to help resolve the issue.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Infotypes: In SAP HR, infotypes are used to store employee data. Each infotype has a validity period, and it is crucial to manage these periods correctly to avoid overlaps.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as PA20, PA30, and PA40 (for creating new records) to manage employee data effectively.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its system, and there may be specific notes addressing this error.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the HRPBSSG008 error and manage employee records without overlaps.
