• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRTIM00COLL012 - Collision: Delimitation not possible ?

  The SAP error message HRTIM00COLL012: Collision: Delimitation not possible typically occurs in the context of time management and personnel administration when there are overlapping time entries or conflicts in the time data for an employee. This can happen during processes such as time evaluation, time recording, or when trying to delimit (end) a time period for an employee.
  Cause:
  
  Overlapping Time Entries: The most common cause is that there are overlapping time entries for the same employee. For example, if an employee has two time records that overlap in dates or times, the system cannot determine which record to prioritize.
  Incorrect Time Data: There may be incorrect or inconsistent time data in the system, such as incorrect start and end dates for time records.
  Delimitation Rules: The rules set for delimiting time records may not allow for the current configuration of time entries, leading to conflicts.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Time Records: Review the time records for the employee in question. Look for any overlapping entries or inconsistencies in the time data. You can do this through transaction codes like PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data).
  Adjust Time Entries: If you find overlapping entries, you will need to adjust or delete one of the conflicting time records to resolve the collision. Ensure that the time entries are correctly defined with no overlaps.
  Review Delimitation Settings: Check the configuration settings for time management and delimitation rules in your SAP system. Ensure that they are set up correctly to handle the time data for your organization.
  Run Time Evaluation: After making the necessary adjustments, run the time evaluation process again to see if the error persists.
  Consult Documentation: If the issue continues, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for further troubleshooting steps specific to your system configuration.
  
  Related Information:
