• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PT_TMW_HEADER_CUST015 - Infotype &1 not permitted (time constraint incorrect) ?

  The SAP error message PT_TMW_HEADER_CUST015 indicates that there is an issue with the time constraint for a specific infotype in the Personnel Administration module. This error typically arises when the system detects that the infotype being processed does not meet the required time constraints defined in the system configuration.
  Cause:
  The error message "Infotype &1 not permitted (time constraint incorrect)" usually occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Incorrect Time Constraint Configuration: The infotype being processed has a time constraint that does not allow the operation being attempted (e.g., creating, changing, or deleting records).
  Overlapping Validity Periods: There may be existing records for the same infotype that overlap with the validity period of the new record being created or modified.
  Missing Required Data: The infotype may require certain fields to be filled out, and if they are not, it can lead to this error.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the action on the specified infotype.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Time Constraints:
  
  Review the time constraints for the specific infotype in the configuration settings (transaction code SPRO -> Personnel Management -> Personnel Administration -> Infotypes -> Define Time Constraints).
  Ensure that the time constraints are set correctly for the infotype in question.
  
  
  
  Review Existing Records:
  
  Check for existing records of the same infotype for the employee in question. Ensure that there are no overlapping validity periods.
  If there are overlapping records, you may need to adjust the validity periods of the existing records or delete them if they are no longer needed.
  
  
  
  Validate Required Fields:
  
  Ensure that all required fields for the infotype are filled out correctly. Missing mandatory fields can lead to this error.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:

  Consult Documentation:
