• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RH116 - No additional object can be created under an interval ?

  The SAP error message RH116 ("No additional object can be created under an interval") typically occurs in the context of SAP HR (Human Resources) when you are trying to create or modify an object (like a position, job, or employee) that falls within a time interval that already has an existing object. This is a safeguard to prevent overlapping or conflicting entries in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Object Conflict: The error usually arises when there is already an existing object (e.g., a position or job) that overlaps with the time interval you are trying to use for the new object.
  Time Interval Restrictions: SAP HR has strict rules regarding the time intervals for objects. Each object must have a unique time interval, and if you attempt to create a new object that shares a time interval with an existing one, this error will be triggered.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Objects: Review the existing objects in the relevant infotype (e.g., infotype 0001 for employee actions, infotype 0007 for planned working time, etc.) to see if there is already an entry that overlaps with the time interval you are trying to use.
  Adjust Time Interval: If you find an overlapping object, you can either:
  
  Change the time interval of the new object you are trying to create to avoid the conflict.
  Modify or delete the existing object if it is no longer needed or if it can be adjusted.
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction Codes: Ensure you are using the correct transaction codes for creating or modifying objects. For example, use PA30 for maintaining HR master data.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's guidelines for managing HR data to ensure compliance with the system's requirements.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Infotypes: Familiarize yourself with the relevant infotypes that pertain to the objects you are working with. Each infotype has specific rules regarding time intervals.
  Authorization: Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify the objects in question.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to this error message.
  Testing: If you are in a development or testing environment, try replicating the issue with different intervals to understand the constraints better.
  
  If the problem persists after checking these aspects, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in SAP HR.
