• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RP587 - Please delete entry & with end date & separately ?

  The SAP error message RP587 typically occurs in the context of payroll processing when there are issues with infotype records, particularly when there are overlapping or conflicting entries for an employee's data. This error indicates that there are multiple entries for the same infotype that need to be resolved before the payroll can be processed.
  Cause:
  The error message RP587 "Please delete entry & with end date & separately" usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Overlapping Records: There are multiple records for the same infotype that overlap in their validity periods. For example, if you have two records for an employee's salary that are active at the same time, the system will not know which one to use.
  
  
  Incorrect End Dates: The end date of one or more records may not be set correctly, leading to conflicts with other records.
  
  
  Missing End Dates: If an infotype record does not have an end date when it should, it can cause conflicts with other records.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Conflicting Records:
  
  Use transaction code PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to check the infotype records for the employee in question.
  Look for overlapping records in the relevant infotype (e.g., infotype 0008 for Basic Pay, infotype 0014 for Recurring Payments/Deductions, etc.).
  
  
  
  Delete or Adjust Records:
  
  If you find overlapping records, you will need to delete or adjust the records so that there are no conflicts. 
  To delete a record, you can use transaction code PA30, select the infotype, and then choose the record you want to delete. Make sure to enter the correct end date for the records you are keeping.
  
  
  
  Check Validity Periods:
  
  Ensure that the validity periods of the records do not overlap. Adjust the start and end dates as necessary.
  
  
  
  Reprocess Payroll:
  
  After resolving the conflicts, you can reprocess the payroll to see if the error has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Infotypes: Infotypes are data structures in SAP that store specific types of information about employees. Each infotype has a validity period, and it is crucial to manage these periods correctly to avoid errors.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as PA20, PA30, and others related to HR master data management.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation or your organization's SAP support resources for more detailed guidance on managing infotypes and resolving payroll errors.
