  The SAP error message HRPIQ000411 typically occurs in the context of the SAP HR (Human Resources) module, particularly when dealing with infotypes related to employee qualifications, skills, or other attributes that require scale values. This error indicates that there is an issue with the scale value being entered, specifically that it is below the defined lower scale limit.
  Cause:
  The error message HRPIQ000411 is triggered when:
  
  A scale value entered for a specific field is less than the defined lower limit for that scale.
  The configuration of the scale values in the system may not be set up correctly, leading to invalid entries.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Scale Values:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration settings in SAP (usually in the SPRO transaction) and check the scale values defined for the infotype you are working with.
  Ensure that the lower scale limit is correctly defined and that the value you are trying to enter is within the acceptable range.
  
  
  
  Validate Input:
  
  Review the data you are trying to enter. Make sure that the scale value you are inputting is not below the defined lower limit.
  If you are entering data through a custom program or interface, ensure that the data being passed adheres to the defined scale limits.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If necessary, adjust the configuration to either change the lower limit or to redefine the scale values to accommodate the data you need to enter.
  This may involve working with your SAP HR configuration team or a functional consultant.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making any changes, test the entry again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
