• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRTIM00BLPINT012 - You can only create records that do not have internal keys (RECUID) ?

  The SAP error message HRTIM00BLPINT012 indicates that you are trying to create a record in the system that already has an internal key (RECUID). This typically occurs in the context of time management or personnel administration when the system expects a new record to be created without an existing internal key.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Record: The record you are trying to create already exists in the database with an internal key (RECUID). The system does not allow the creation of duplicate records with the same key.
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may be an issue with the data being entered, such as incorrect parameters or fields that are not properly cleared before attempting to create a new record.
  Configuration Issues: There might be configuration settings in the SAP system that are causing this error, particularly in the time management module.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Existing Records: Before creating a new record, check if a record with the same key already exists. You can do this by querying the relevant database table or using transaction codes like PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data).
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction: Ensure you are using the correct transaction for creating records. If you are trying to create a new record, make sure you are not inadvertently trying to modify an existing one.
  
  
  Clear Fields: If you are using a program or transaction that allows for record creation, ensure that all fields are correctly cleared or set to default values before attempting to create a new record.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific module you are working with. This can provide insights into the expected behavior and any prerequisites for creating records.
  
  
  Check Configuration: If you suspect a configuration issue, consult with your SAP Basis or HR module administrator to review the settings related to record creation in the time management module.
  
  
  Error Logs: Check the system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about the issue.
