  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 3B111 - Pers.number &1 is not master, delete infotype 0256. ?

    The SAP error message 3B111 indicates that the personnel number specified in the operation is not a master record in the system, and therefore, the system cannot delete the infotype 0256 (which is related to the "Employee Remuneration" infotype).

    Cause:

    1. Non-existent Personnel Number: The personnel number you are trying to delete the infotype for does not exist in the system.
    2. Incorrect Infotype: The infotype 0256 may not be correctly assigned to the personnel number, or it may not have been created yet.
    3. Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the database or issues with the data entry that prevent the system from recognizing the personnel number as a valid master record.

    1. Verify Personnel Number: Check if the personnel number you are using is correct. You can do this by navigating to the relevant infotype or using transaction codes like PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data).
    2. Check Infotype Existence: Ensure that infotype 0256 exists for the personnel number. If it does not exist, you cannot delete it.
    3. Create Master Record: If the personnel number does not exist, you may need to create a master record for that personnel number before you can manage infotypes.
    4. Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks or reports to identify any data issues. You can use transaction codes like SE38 to run specific reports or programs that check for inconsistencies in HR data.
    5. Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to delete infotypes for the personnel number in question.
