• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IDFIHU213 - No data entries are possible to the same or lapped intervals ?

  The SAP error message IDFIHU213 ("No data entries are possible to the same or lapped intervals") typically occurs in the context of time management or data entry for time-related records, such as time sheets, attendance, or other time-related data entries. This error indicates that there is an attempt to enter overlapping or duplicate time intervals for a specific employee or resource.
  Cause:
  
  
  Overlapping Time Entries: The most common cause of this error is that the time intervals being entered overlap with existing entries. For example, if you are trying to enter a time record for 9 AM to 5 PM, but there is already a record for 1 PM to 3 PM, this will trigger the error.
  
  
  Lapped Intervals: This refers to situations where the time intervals do not overlap but are still considered invalid due to the system's rules. For instance, if you have a record for 9 AM to 12 PM and another for 11 AM to 2 PM, the second entry laps the first, which can also lead to this error.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: Sometimes, the configuration settings in the SAP system regarding time management may not allow for certain types of entries, leading to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Entries: Review the existing time entries for the employee or resource in question. Ensure that the new entry does not overlap with any existing records.
  
  
  Adjust Time Intervals: Modify the time intervals you are trying to enter to ensure they do not overlap or lap with existing entries. This may involve changing the start and end times or splitting the entries into non-overlapping segments.
  
  
  Consult Configuration Settings: If you believe the entries are valid and should be allowed, consult with your SAP administrator or a consultant to review the configuration settings related to time management. There may be specific rules or settings that need to be adjusted.
  
  
  Use Time Evaluation Reports: Utilize SAP time evaluation reports to analyze time data and identify any discrepancies or overlaps that may not be immediately visible.
  
  
  Documentation and Training: Ensure that users entering time data are trained on the rules regarding time entries to prevent future occurrences of this error.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to this error message. Sometimes, SAP releases updates that address known issues.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) or CAT2 (Time Sheet) where this error might occur.
