Issue with address inconsistencies when synchronizing Employee to Business Partner

[alvaro_provencio]

Hi Gurus, I have been requested to solve an issue related to a BP in S4 on premise.

To give context: We had a BP not synchronized correctly with its employee number (from PA30).

Our functional team executed RSUID_REMOVE_FALSE_BP_ASGN to unlink them and when executing /SHCM/RH_SYNC_BUPA_EMPL_SINGLE to generate a new BP and link it with the employee number we received the following 2 error logs:

Message R1000 "Error_Time Dependency_Addresses ADVW_VALIDITY_ERROR"

Message R11245 "Error for validity periods of address usages"

I have checked the address' validity periods in the HR master (PA30) and the BP and they match, also I have checked BUT020, ADRC and PA0006 tables and they match too. 

Reading sap note 2578294, it suggests to review the path "Cross-Application Components=>SAP Business Partner=>Business Partner=>Basic Settings=>Address Determination" and make sure the address type XXDEFAULT is set on "Assign Transaction to Address Type", and it is. Also I have checked sap notes 2517507 and 2598468, but they cannot be implemented in the system. 

Going on, we have executed again /SHCM/RH_SYNC_BUPA_EMPL_SINGLE but with the flag "Override Banks, addresses and roles" and it gives us a different error log:

Message no. AM266 Personal address not deleted; other reference exists.

Searching for it I have found this blog: https://community.sap.com/t5/crm-and-cx-questions/bupa-del-error/qaq-p/10741420, it says that the error generally occurs for the addresses  of table BCST_CAM, I have checked it and there isn't any entry for the employee number, could that be the problem? Going trough note 835936, I have executed RSBCS_ADDRESS_REFERENCE, but it says that there isn't any reference. 

Does someone know what else can I do? Or how should I proceed? 

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

Can you check if installing notes 3382938 and 3459829 fix the issue?

Hi fran, thank you for your quick response

Note 3382938 can't be implemented in the system either, and about 3459829, I have checked V_TB008U and there is an entry already for address type XXDEFAULT, so I understand the note won't solve it, right?

Hello! Same situation here? Did you find a solution?

Hi Marco, yes I found my issue! There were 2 entries for the same Pers. number in table PA0000. The first one didn't have end or start date, and with those fields blank, it gave me the error. We deleted that entry so it could use the second one with the correct data (and with the proper values in start and end date
