• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRTIM00TDT126 - IDs &1 &2 and &3 &4 have identical active characteristics ?

  The SAP error message HRTIM00TDT126 indicates that there are two or more time management IDs (such as employee IDs or other identifiers) that have identical active characteristics in the system. This typically occurs in the context of time management data, where the system expects unique combinations of certain attributes for each ID.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by:
  
  Duplicate Entries: There are duplicate entries in the time management data for the specified IDs, meaning that the system has found two or more records that have the same active characteristics (e.g., same time type, same validity period).
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration in the time management module that allows for overlapping or duplicate characteristics.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system, it may have resulted in duplicates or conflicts in the time management records.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify Duplicates:

  Look for records that have the same characteristics and validity periods.
  
  
  
  Correct Data:
  
  If duplicates are found, you will need to decide which record to keep and which to delete or modify. Ensure that the remaining record has the correct and intended data.
  If the duplicates are due to incorrect data entry, correct the entries in the relevant infotypes.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings in the time management module to ensure that they are set up correctly and do not allow for duplicate entries.
