• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRTMC_SERVICES057 - Infotype 1000 must not be delimited ?

  The SAP error message HRTMC_SERVICES057 indicates that there is an issue with the Infotype 1000 (Actions) in the context of personnel administration. Specifically, it means that the Infotype 1000 must not be delimited when you are trying to perform a certain action, such as creating or modifying a personnel action.
  Cause:
  The error typically occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Delimitation of Infotype 1000: The Infotype 1000 has been delimited (i.e., it has an end date), which means that the action you are trying to perform is not valid for the current date or the date of the action.
  Incorrect Action Type: The action you are trying to perform may not be compatible with the current status of the employee's Infotype 1000.
  Missing Required Data: There may be missing or incorrect data in the employee's record that is causing the system to reject the action.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Infotype 1000:
  
  Go to the employee's record in the SAP system and check Infotype 1000 (Actions).
  Ensure that there is a valid record for the date you are trying to perform the action. If the Infotype is delimited, you may need to create a new record or extend the existing one.
  
  
  
  Review Personnel Actions:
  
  Ensure that the action you are trying to perform is appropriate given the current state of the employee's record. For example, if the employee is terminated, you cannot perform certain actions.
  
  
  
  Consult with HR or SAP Support:
  
  If you are unsure about the correct actions or how to modify the Infotype, consult with your HR department or SAP support team for guidance.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  You can use transaction codes like PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to view and edit Infotype 1000.
  Use PA40 (Personnel Actions) to perform the action you are trying to execute.
