SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRSEN00 - Calculation of Time Specifications

• Message number: 411

• Message text: Selection rule &1 is undefined with reference to weighting factor type

What causes this issue?

The defined selection rule would evaluate infotype date <LS>without a
weighting factor</> and infotype data <LS>with a weighting factor</> at
the same time. This is not permitted because such definitions cannot be
evaluated in a valuation model.
For example, you have entered the <LS>Time Specifications/ Employment
Period</> infotype without a subtype. Since this infotype can contain
employee data both <LS>with</> and <LS>without</> a weighting factor,
selection of this infotype in a selection rule without a
<DS:GLOS.36D849553F3C357AE10000009B38F985>time specification type</> is
not permitted. The time specification type determines whether input of
a weighted period is permitted or not for the subtype.

How to fix this error?

Enter a subtype.
