  The SAP error message XSS_TIM002 ("There is no time statement for that period") typically occurs in the context of time management or time evaluation processes within SAP systems, particularly in Human Capital Management (HCM) modules. This error indicates that the system cannot find a time statement for the specified period, which is necessary for processing time-related data.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Time Data: The most common cause is that there are no recorded time entries (e.g., clock-ins, clock-outs) for the employee in the specified period.
  Incorrect Period Selection: The period you are trying to evaluate may not have been defined correctly or may not exist in the system.
  Time Evaluation Not Run: The time evaluation process may not have been executed for the specified period, leading to the absence of time statements.
  Data Entry Errors: There may be errors in the data entry process, such as incorrect employee IDs or date ranges.

  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the time data for the specified employee and period.
  Consult Logs: Review any logs or error messages generated during the time evaluation process to identify any underlying issues.
