• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPIQ000352 - Infotype validity period is outside of object validity period ?

  The SAP error message HRPIQ000352 indicates that there is a mismatch between the validity period of an infotype and the validity period of the object (such as a personnel number or employee record). This typically occurs in the context of Human Resources (HR) data management, where each infotype (a specific type of HR data) has its own validity period that must align with the overall validity period of the employee or object.
  Cause:
  
  
  Infotype Validity Period: The infotype you are trying to maintain has a validity period that does not fall within the validity period of the employee or object. For example, if the infotype is valid from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, but the employee record is only valid from March 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, this error will occur.
  
  
  Object Validity Period: The object (e.g., employee record) may have been created with a specific validity period that does not encompass the dates you are trying to enter for the infotype.
  
  
  Data Entry Error: There may be a simple data entry error where the dates were incorrectly inputted.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Validity Periods: Review the validity periods of both the infotype and the object. Ensure that the infotype's validity period falls within the object's validity period.
  
  
  Adjust Dates: If the infotype's dates are incorrect, adjust them to ensure they align with the object's validity period. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the infotype in question and modifying the start and end dates.
  Ensuring that the infotype is not being created or modified for a period that is outside the employee's active status.
  
  
  
  Review Object Status: If the object’s validity period is incorrect, you may need to adjust the object’s validity period to encompass the infotype’s dates. This may involve changing the employee's status or other related records.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the validity periods or how to adjust them, consult your organization's SAP HR documentation or reach out to your SAP HR administrator for guidance.
