• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZ325 - Enter a time period of at least & minutes ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WZ325 - Enter a time period of at least & minutes
  
  Cause:
  This warning message appears when you enter a time period that is shorter than the minimum allowed duration in a time-related transaction or configuration. The system requires that the time period entered must be at least a certain minimum number of minutes (the value represented by & in the message).
  This often occurs in scenarios such as:
  
  Time recording in Personnel Time Management (e.g., attendance or absence entries).
  Time evaluation or time data entry screens where minimum time intervals are enforced.
  Settings in Time Management infotypes or time schemas where minimum time units are defined.
  
  The system enforces this to ensure data consistency and to avoid impractically short time entries that could cause errors in payroll or time evaluation.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter a time period equal to or greater than the minimum required minutes.
  
  For example, if the message says "Enter a time period of at least 15 minutes," you must enter 15 minutes or more.
  
  
  Check the minimum time unit settings:
  
  The minimum time unit can be configured in the system (e.g., in Time Management customizing under Time Evaluation or in the Time Recording profiles). If the minimum time unit is too large for your business process, you may need to adjust it.
  
  
  Review the time entry:
  
  Make sure the start and end times or the duration you enter comply with the minimum time period rules.

  Time Management Customizing:
  
  Minimum time units are often set in transaction SPRO under:
  
  Personnel Management -> Time Management -> Time Data Recording and Administration -> Time Recording -> Define Minimum Time Units
  
  
  Time Evaluation:
  
  Minimum time units can also be relevant in time evaluation schemas (e.g., in PCRs or schemas that round or validate time entries).
  
  
  User Training:
  
  Users should be trained to enter time data respecting the minimum time units to avoid warnings and ensure smooth payroll processing.
  
  
  SAP Notes:
  
  If you suspect the message appears incorrectly or due to a system bug, check SAP Notes or OSS for any relevant corrections.
