• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPSGB_LG052 - Entering today's date will leave ONLY one record ?

  The SAP error message HRPSGB_LG052 typically occurs in the context of personnel administration or time management when you are trying to enter or modify a record in the system. The message indicates that entering today's date will leave only one record for a specific infotype, which may not be allowed or may lead to data integrity issues.
  Cause:
  
  Single Record Requirement: The system may require that there be at least two records for a specific infotype (e.g., employment status, pay scale) to maintain historical data integrity. If you attempt to enter a record with today's date and it results in only one record remaining, the system raises this error.
  Date Overlap: You might be trying to create a new record that overlaps with an existing record, which could lead to the situation where only one valid record exists after the change.
  End Date of Previous Record: If the previous record has an end date that is the same as today’s date, entering a new record with today’s date will effectively remove the previous record from the active set.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Records: Review the existing records for the infotype in question. Ensure that there are at least two valid records before making changes.
  Adjust Dates: If you need to enter a new record, consider adjusting the start date of the new record or the end date of the existing record to ensure that there are at least two valid records.
  Consult with HR: If you are unsure about the implications of changing records, consult with your HR department or SAP administrator to ensure compliance with data management policies.
  Use a Different Date: If appropriate, consider using a different date that does not conflict with existing records.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Infotypes: Familiarize yourself with the specific infotype you are working with, as different infotypes have different rules regarding record management.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on the specific infotype and its requirements.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to view and manage personnel records.
