HRPFD00041 - Details

• The SAP error message HRPFD00041 indicates that there are issues with the validity periods defined for a particular method in the Human Resources (HR) module, specifically in the context of personnel administration or organizational management. This error typically arises when the validity periods for certain infotypes or data records overlap or when there are gaps between them.
  
  Cause:
  
  
  Overlapping Validity Periods: This occurs when two or more records have validity periods that intersect. For example, if one record is valid from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, and another record is valid from June 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, this would create an overlap.
