• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RP105 - Validity end must be the same as & ?

  The SAP error message RP105 ("Validity end must be the same as &") typically occurs in the context of personnel administration or payroll processing when there is an inconsistency in the validity dates of certain infotypes (data records) for an employee. This error indicates that the end date of a specific infotype does not match the expected end date based on the system's requirements or the configuration of the infotype.
  Cause:
  
  
  Mismatch in Validity Dates: The end date of the infotype being processed does not match the expected end date. This can happen if:
  
  The infotype was created or modified incorrectly.
  There are overlapping or conflicting records for the same employee.
  The system is expecting a specific end date based on other infotypes or configurations.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that dictate how validity periods should be handled, and these settings may not align with the data being entered.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: Manual data entry errors can lead to incorrect dates being entered for infotypes.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Validity Dates: Review the validity dates of the infotypes for the employee in question. Ensure that the end date of the infotype matches the expected end date as indicated by the error message.
  
  
  Correct Infotype Records: If there are discrepancies, correct the infotype records. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the relevant infotype (e.g., IT0000, IT0001, etc.) in the SAP system.
  Adjusting the validity end date to match the expected date.
  
  
  
  Review Overlapping Records: Check for any overlapping infotype records that may be causing the conflict. If there are overlapping records, you may need to adjust or delete one of them.
  
  
  Consult Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP HR configuration team to review the settings related to validity periods for the infotypes in question. They may need to adjust the configuration to align with business requirements.
  
  
  Testing: After making corrections, test the changes by attempting to process the payroll or personnel action again to ensure that the error has been resolved.
