• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_AT147 - Inconsistent data (routine: &1) when changing AT relevancy indicator ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation regarding the SAP error message WRF_AT147: Inconsistent data (routine: &1) that occurs when changing the AT relevancy indicator:
  
  Error Message Overview
  
  Message ID: WRF_AT147
  Text: Inconsistent data (routine: &1)
  Context: This error typically appears when you try to change the Attendance (AT) relevancy indicator in personnel time data or related infotypes in SAP HR (HCM) Time Management.
  
  
  Cause
  The error WRF_AT147 occurs because the system detects inconsistent or conflicting data when you attempt to change the AT relevancy indicator. The AT relevancy indicator controls whether certain time data is relevant for attendance or absence processing.
  Common causes include:
  
  
  Data Inconsistency:
  
  The existing time data or infotype records are inconsistent with the new AT relevancy indicator setting. For example, if the system expects attendance data but finds absence data, or vice versa.
  
  
  Incorrect or Missing Customizing:
  
  The configuration for time evaluation or absence/attendance types may not be aligned with the changes you are trying to make.
  
  
  Dependencies in Time Evaluation:
  
  The routines or user exits involved in time evaluation detect that the data change violates logical or business rules.
  
  
  Data Locking or Incomplete Data:
  
  Sometimes, incomplete or locked data records can cause this inconsistency.
  
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the WRF_AT147 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Routine Name:
  
  The message includes the routine name (&1), which indicates where the inconsistency was detected. Use this to identify the specific logic or user exit causing the problem.
  
  
  Analyze the Data:  
  
  Review the personnel time data or infotype records related to the employee.
  Check if the data matches the expected AT relevancy indicator.
  Look for conflicting entries (e.g., attendance data marked as absence or vice versa).
  
  
  
  Verify Customizing Settings:  
  
  Go to SPRO ? Personnel Management ? Time Management ? Time Data Recording and Processing ? Define Attendance/Absence Types.
  Ensure that the AT relevancy indicators are correctly configured.
  Check the time evaluation schema and rules for consistency.
  
  
  
  Run Time Evaluation Manually:  
  
  Use transaction PT60 to run time evaluation for the employee.
  Check for any errors or warnings that might indicate data issues.
  
  
  
  Correct or Delete Conflicting Data:  
  
  If conflicting time data exists, correct or delete it before changing the AT relevancy indicator.
  Sometimes, you may need to delete the time data for the period and re-enter it after changing the indicator.
  
  
  
  Check for OSS Notes:  
  
  Search SAP OSS Notes for message WRF_AT147 and the specific routine mentioned.
  SAP may have provided patches or corrections for known issues.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Support:  
  
  If the problem persists, raise a support ticket with SAP, providing the routine name and detailed data.
