How To Fix HRSEN00318 - The defined combination &2 for time spec. type &1 cannot be interpreted

HRSEN00318 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRSEN00 - Calculation of Time Specifications

• Message number: 318

• Message text: The defined combination &2 for time spec. type &1 cannot be interpreted

What causes this issue?

A combination of <DS:DE.PSEN_ADDIN>imputation</> and
<DS:DE.PSEN_VALID>period/key date entry</> has been selected in table
T525T (<LS>Time Specification Type for Employment Period Calculation
</>) for time specification type &V1&. However, this is not a valid
selection. This may occur if, for example, an invalid enhancement has
been made to the domains PSEN_ADDIN (<LS>Input permissibility of
imputation period/factor</>) and PSEN_VALID (<LS>Indicator: Period is
interval/key date</>).
The combination of both definitions determines whether the system
generates a period, a weighted period, or a
<DS:GLOS.370AFA4DF4D47278E10000009B38F9B7>date-based duration</> from
the employee data.

Procedure for System Administrators

Check whether you have made enhancements to the PSEN_ADDIN and
PSEN_VALID domains or whether you have changed the function modules in
the function group HRSEN00SEL_RULE_EVALUATION.
If this is not the case, contact SAP.
