• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PB612 - The relationship specified no longer exists on the move date ?

  The SAP error message PB612 ("The relationship specified no longer exists on the move date") typically occurs in the context of personnel administration or organizational management when trying to perform actions related to employee data, such as moving an employee from one position to another or changing their organizational assignment.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Invalid Relationship: The relationship (e.g., between an employee and a position or organizational unit) that you are trying to use does not exist on the specified move date. This could happen if the relationship was deleted or if the employee was not assigned to the position or organizational unit at that time.
  
  
  Date Mismatch: The move date you are using may not correspond to the date when the relationship was valid. For example, if the employee was assigned to a different position or organizational unit before or after the specified date, the system will not find a valid relationship.
  
  
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the master data, such as missing or incorrect entries in the infotypes related to the employee's organizational assignment.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the PB612 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Move Date: Ensure that the move date you are using is correct and corresponds to a period when the relationship was valid. You can check the employee's history in the relevant infotypes (e.g., IT0001 for Organizational Assignment).
  
  
  Verify Relationships: Use transaction codes like PPOME (for Organizational Management) or PA20 (for displaying employee data) to check the existing relationships for the employee. Ensure that the relationship you are trying to use exists on the specified date.
  
  
  Correct Data: If you find that the relationship does not exist, you may need to create or adjust the relevant infotype records. For example, if the employee needs to be assigned to a new position, you may need to create a new record in IT0001 or IT0002 (depending on the type of change).
  
  
  Consult with HR or System Administrator: If you are unsure about the changes or if the issue persists, consult with your HR department or SAP system administrator. They can provide insights into the data structure and help resolve any inconsistencies.
  
  
  Check for Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the employee's data. Lack of proper permissions can sometimes lead to errors.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Infotypes: Familiarize yourself with relevant infotypes such as IT0001 (Organizational Assignment), IT0002 (Personal Data), and IT0006 (Addresses) to understand how employee data is structured.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) and PA20 (Display HR Master Data) to view and edit employee records.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes and Knowledge Base Articles for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the PB612 error and implement the necessary corrections to resolve it.
