Error when sending infotype 2 via ALE - start date

216 Views

Hi all,

we are facing the following error when using the standard method for HR distribution: changes in infotype 2 cannot be processed in the receiving system; each change results in a 51 error in the iDoc, with message "PA0002 could not be updatedu201D (msg number 5-108).

For some background: we're using message type HRMD_A06 and the standard configuration as described in the "ALE Quickstart" document. We've sent the full set of employee data via report RHALEINI, and use RBMDIDOC and change pointers to send changes on a daily basis. All infotypes are updated correctly except 2.

From our tests, it seems that the problem is the following:

- the initial send via RHALEINI created infotype 2 records with start date 01.01.1900. The sent iDocs had at the level E1P1TYP for infotype 2, start date 01.01.1800

- the daily report RBMDIDOC is sending the infotype 2 records with their real start date (i.e. birthdate of the employee). Since this is later than 01.01.1900, the replacement of one infotype by another in the receiving system fails. By manually changing the start date of infotype 2 in the receiving system, the next update is successful --but we do not want to manually update all records in the receiving system.

Has anyone else faced this or a similar issue with RHALEINI and infotype start dates?

Thanks in advance,

Mariana
