• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPFD00835 - Reference date is too far in the future; some values are inaccurate ?

  The SAP error message HRPFD00835 indicates that the reference date you are trying to use in a personnel action or infotype is too far in the future. This can lead to inaccuracies in the data being processed, as the system may not have the necessary information or rules to handle dates that are significantly ahead of the current date.
  Cause:
  
  Future Reference Date: The reference date you are using is beyond the acceptable range defined in the system settings. This could be due to a planned action or event that is set for a date that is too far in the future.
  Configuration Settings: The system may have configuration settings that limit the range of dates that can be processed for certain infotypes or actions.
  Data Entry Error: There may have been an error in data entry, where the date was incorrectly inputted.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Reference Date: Review the reference date you are using and ensure it is within an acceptable range. Typically, this should be a date that is not too far in the future (e.g., within the next year).
  Adjust the Date: If the date is indeed too far in the future, adjust it to a more reasonable date that aligns with the current date and the business processes.
  Review Configuration: If you believe the date should be acceptable, check the configuration settings in the SAP system. This may involve consulting with your SAP HR module administrator or a technical consultant to see if the date range can be adjusted.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on the acceptable date ranges for the infotypes or actions you are working with.
  Testing: After making adjustments, test the action again to ensure that the error does not recur.
