  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PBAS_SERVICE009 - Dates &1 - &2 are invalid with time constraint A or B ?

    The SAP error message PBAS_SERVICE009 indicates that there is an issue with the date range specified in a particular operation, typically related to personnel administration or time management. The message states that the dates provided (from &1 to &2) are invalid due to time constraints A or B.

    Causes:

    1. Invalid Date Range: The start date is after the end date, or the dates do not fall within a valid period for the specific operation.
    2. Time Constraints:
      • Time Constraint A: This usually means that the record must be valid for the entire period specified. For example, if you are trying to create or change a record that has a time constraint of A, both the start and end dates must be valid and not overlap with existing records.
      • Time Constraint B: This indicates that the record can only be valid for a specific period and may not overlap with other records that have a time constraint of A.
    3. Existing Records: There may be existing records in the system that conflict with the dates you are trying to enter.
    4. Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that restrict the date ranges for certain actions.

    Solutions:

    1. Check Date Validity: Ensure that the start date is earlier than the end date and that both dates are valid for the operation you are performing.
    2. Review Existing Records: Check for any existing records that may conflict with the dates you are trying to enter. You can do this by reviewing the infotype records for the employee in question.
    3. Adjust Dates: If the dates are invalid due to time constraints, adjust them to ensure they comply with the rules of time constraint A or B.
    4. Consult Configuration: If you suspect that the issue is due to configuration settings, consult with your SAP HR configuration team to review the time constraints and validity periods set up in the system.
    5. Use Transaction Codes: Use relevant transaction codes (like PA30 for infotype maintenance) to check and modify the records as necessary.

    Related Information:

    • Infotypes: Familiarize yourself with the relevant infotypes (e.g., 0000, 0001, 0002) that may be involved in the operation you are performing.
    • Time Management: Understand the implications of time constraints in SAP HR, as they dictate how records can be created or modified.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message, as there may be updates or fixes available.
