• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPIQ001099 - Start and end times of business event &1 and &2 are identical ?

  The SAP error message HRPIQ001099 indicates that there is an issue with the scheduling of a business event where the start and end times are identical. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Human Capital Management (HCM) module, particularly in the area of event management or personnel planning.
  Cause:
  The error arises when an attempt is made to create or modify a business event (such as a training session, meeting, or any scheduled activity) where the start time and end time are set to the same value. This is logically incorrect because an event cannot have a duration of zero; it must have a defined start and end time.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the start and end times of the business event are different. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Check Event Details: Review the details of the business event you are trying to create or modify. Look for the fields that specify the start time and end time.
  
  
  Adjust Times: Change either the start time or the end time so that they are not identical. For example, if the start time is set to 10:00 AM, you might set the end time to 10:30 AM or any other time that provides a valid duration for the event.
  
  
  Validation: After making the changes, validate the event details again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  
  
  Save Changes: Once the times are correctly set, save the changes to the business event.
  
  
  Related Information:
