HRPIQ000475 - Details

• The SAP error message HRPIQ000475 indicates that there is an overlap in the start and end dates of identical time limits in the system. This typically occurs in the context of personnel administration or time management, where time limits (such as contracts, leave periods, or other time-related data) are defined for employees.
  
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to create or modify a time limit (e.g., a contract or leave request) that has the same characteristics (like type or category) as an existing time limit, but the date ranges overlap. This means that the system detects two records that cannot coexist because they cover the same period.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Time Limits: Review the existing time limits for the employee in question. You can do this by navigating to the relevant infotype (e.g., IT 0000 for actions, IT 0001 for organizational assignment, etc.) and
