  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PE551 - Daily work schedule and partial shifts cannot be entered at same time ?
    The SAP error message PE551, which states "Daily work schedule and partial shifts cannot be entered at the same time," typically occurs in the context of time management and personnel administration when there is a conflict in the way work schedules are defined for an employee.
    
    Cause: This error arises when an attempt is made to assign both a daily work schedule and a partial shift to the same employee for the same time period. In SAP, a daily work schedule defines the standard working hours for a day, while a partial shift refers to a specific segment of time within that day. The system does not allow both to be applied simultaneously because it creates ambiguity in how the employee's working hours are calculated.
    Solution: To resolve this error, you need to ensure that only one type of schedule is assigned to the employee for the specified time period. Here are the steps
