• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPFD02006 - Only one infotype record per posting may be generated ?

  The SAP error message HRPFD02006, which states "Only one infotype record per posting may be generated," typically occurs in the context of personnel administration when trying to create or modify infotype records. This error indicates that the system is attempting to create multiple records for a single infotype during a posting, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Records: The primary cause of this error is that there are already existing records for the specified infotype that conflict with the new record being created. For example, if you are trying to create a new record for infotype 0001 (Organizational Assignment) and there is already an active record for the same period, the system will throw this error.
  Incorrect Data Entry: Sometimes, the error can arise from incorrect data entry or configuration that leads to the system trying to create multiple records.
  Custom Enhancements: If there are custom enhancements or modifications in the system that affect how infotypes are processed, they may inadvertently lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Records: Review the existing records for the infotype in question. You can do this by using transaction codes like PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to see if there are any overlapping records for the same employee and period.
  Adjust Posting Dates: If you need to create a new record, ensure that the posting dates do not overlap with existing records. You may need to adjust the validity period of the new record or the existing records.
  Delete or Modify Existing Records: If the existing records are no longer needed, consider deleting or modifying them to allow for the new record to be created.
  Consult with HR Team: If you are unsure about which records to modify or delete, consult with your HR team or the person responsible for maintaining employee records to ensure that you do not inadvertently remove important data.
  Check Custom Code: If there are custom enhancements in your SAP system, review them to ensure they are not causing the issue. You may need to involve a developer or SAP consultant to investigate further.
