• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPIQUS_REPORTING269 - Begin Session &2 cannot be greater than end session &4 ?

  The SAP error message HRPIQUS_REPORTING269 indicates that there is an issue with the session dates in a reporting context, specifically that the "Begin Session" date is greater than the "End Session" date. This typically occurs in the context of HR reporting or when dealing with personnel information queries.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the user attempts to generate a report or perform an action that requires a date range, and the start date (Begin Session) is set to a date that is later than the end date (End Session). This is logically incorrect, as a reporting period cannot start after it ends.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check Date Inputs: Review the date fields in the report or transaction where the error occurred. Ensure that the "Begin Session" date is earlier than or equal to the "End Session" date.
  
  
  Correct the Dates: If you find that the dates are incorrectly set, adjust them accordingly:
  
  Change the "Begin Session" date to an earlier date.
  Alternatively, if the "End Session" date is incorrect, adjust it to a later date.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Report: After making the necessary adjustments to the dates, re-run the report or transaction to see if the error persists.
