• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PG341 - Time evaluation: Entry before earliest personal recalculation date &1 ?

  The SAP error message PG341, which states "Time evaluation: Entry before earliest personal recalculation date &1," typically occurs during time evaluation processes in SAP HCM (Human Capital Management). This error indicates that there is an attempt to process a time entry that predates the earliest recalculation date set for the employee's time evaluation.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Date Mismatch: The time entry being processed has a date that is earlier than the earliest personal recalculation date defined for the employee in the system.
  Configuration Issues: The personal recalculation date may not be set correctly in the employee's master data or may not align with the time entry being processed.
  Time Evaluation Settings: The time evaluation settings in the system may not be configured to allow for entries before the recalculation date.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Employee Master Data:
  
  Go to the employee's master data (PA30) and check the "Time Management" infotype (IT 0007) for the "Earliest Personal Recalculation Date."
  Ensure that this date is set correctly and reflects the intended start date for time evaluation.
  
  
  
  Adjust Time Entry:
  
  If the time entry is indeed valid but is dated before the recalculation date, consider adjusting the date of the time entry to a date that is on or after the earliest personal recalculation date.
  
  
  
  Review Time Evaluation Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings for time evaluation in the SAP system (transaction code PE02 or similar).
  Ensure that the settings allow for the processing of time entries as intended.
  
  
  
  Consult with HR or Payroll Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the correct settings or adjustments, consult with your HR or payroll team to ensure compliance with company policies and regulations.
  
  
  
  Run Time Evaluation Again:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, rerun the time evaluation process to see if the error persists.
