• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WP305 - Terminated processing in segment & restarted ?

  The SAP error message WP305 - Terminated processing in segment & restarted typically occurs during the processing of HR infotype data, especially in personnel administration or payroll processing. Here's a detailed explanation of the cause, solution, and related information:
  
  Error Message: WP305 - Terminated processing in segment & restarted
  
  Cause:
  
  The message indicates that the processing of a particular segment (infotype or data segment) was terminated prematurely and then restarted.
  This usually happens during the processing of HR master data infotypes (e.g., during personnel actions, payroll runs, or data replication).
  Common causes include:
  
  Data inconsistencies or invalid data in the infotype segment being processed.
  Missing or incorrect configuration in the personnel administration or payroll schema.
  Issues with time constraints or validity periods of infotype records.
  Errors in user exits or BAdIs that process the infotype data.
  System inconsistencies or database locks causing the processing to abort and restart.
  
  
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During personnel actions (PA40) when infotype data is being processed.
  During payroll runs or retroactive accounting.
  When data is being transferred or replicated between systems (e.g., from PA to PY).
  When batch input or LSMW is used to upload HR data.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Infotype Data:
  
  Verify the data in the infotype segment mentioned in the message.
  Look for invalid or inconsistent data entries, such as overlapping validity periods, missing mandatory fields, or incorrect data formats.
  
  
  
  Review Personnel Action or Payroll Schema:
  
  Check the configuration of the personnel action or payroll schema that processes the infotype.
  Ensure that the infotype is correctly configured and that no custom logic is causing the termination.
  
  
  
  Analyze User Exits / BAdIs:
  
  If custom code is implemented in user exits or BAdIs related to the infotype, debug and check for errors or exceptions.
  Correct any issues in the custom code.
  
  
  
  Check System Logs and Dumps:
  
  Look at the system log (SM21) and short dumps (ST22) for related errors.
  Analyze any runtime errors that coincide with the WP305 message.
  
  
  
  Database Consistency:
  
  Run consistency checks on the infotype tables (e.g., PA0000, PA0001, etc.).
  Use transaction S_PH0_48000010 (HR consistency check) to identify and fix inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Action:
  
  After correcting the data or configuration, reprocess the personnel action or payroll run.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Support:
