• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message P2796 - Not possible to delimit records of same infotype and same quota type ?

  The SAP error message P2796, "Not possible to delimit records of same infotype and same quota type," typically occurs in the context of managing employee time data, particularly when dealing with infotypes related to leave quotas or time management.
  
  Cause:
  This error arises when there are multiple records for the same infotype (e.g., Infotype 2006 for leave entitlements) and the same quota type (e.g., vacation leave) that overlap in their validity periods.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Records: 
  
  Use transaction code PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to check the infotype records for the employee in question.
