2792625 - Unable to Replicate Employees in the Master Data Replication Work Center

You are trying to replicate Employees in the Master Data Replication work center, however the system displays the below error messages:

"Company of position must be company of employment"
"Company from leading org assignment must be the same with Company from employment"
"Cannot delimit time file validity; employee times exist; cancel times"
"Employee Type deleted due to overlapping validity period of adjacent node"

SAP Business ByDesign

1. Go to the Master Data Replication work center.
2. Enter the Employees view.
3. Search for the Remote Employee ID.

Here it is possible to see the replication status as Failed.

There may be multiple causes for the error messages:

Cause 1: The employee replicated is a service agent who was hired as an internal employee in Business ByDesign, and the time recording was done for this employee. Now a service agent role for this person is being created, along with an internal employee role as well. This is characterized as a change in the hire date of an internal employee which is not possible if time recording exists.

Cause 2: The current work-agreement of an employee validity starts, for example, from 01.12.2022 to 31.12.9999. However with the employee replication request, the start date is set from 13.02.2023 to unlimited. In this example, this replication request tries to change the validity start date of the current work-agreement from 1.12.2022 to 13.02.2023, and as time records exists between 1.12.2022 to 12.02.2023, the replication fails.

Cause 3: The employee has a Time Profile which is being split into 2 separated profiles (for example, a time profile from 01.01 to 31.12 is being split into a profile from 01.01 to 31.05 and another from 01.06 to 31.12). However there are already employee times between 01.01 and 31.12.

In the situations described above, it is required to either delete the time recordings or check the hire date of the internal employee.
