• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5O402 - Work relationship not ended: Do not enter any further data ?

  The SAP error message 5O402 ("Work relationship not ended: Do not enter any further data") typically occurs in the context of personnel administration when trying to enter or modify data for an employee whose work relationship is still active or has not been properly terminated in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Active Work Relationship: The employee's work relationship (e.g., employment status) is still active, and the system does not allow further data entry until the relationship is properly ended.
  Incomplete Termination Process: The termination process for the employee may not have been completed correctly, leaving the work relationship in an active state.
  Incorrect Date: The date being used for the data entry may fall within the active period of the employee's work relationship.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Work Relationship Status: Verify the current status of the employee's work relationship in the system. You can do this by checking the employee's personnel file or using transaction codes like PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data).
  
  
  End Work Relationship: If the employee has indeed left the organization, ensure that the termination process is completed. This may involve:
  
  Entering a termination action in the system.
  Specifying the correct termination date.
  Ensuring that all necessary fields are filled out correctly during the termination process.
  
  
  
  Review Dates: Make sure that the date you are trying to enter data for is not within the active period of the employee's work relationship. If it is, you may need to adjust your data entry to a date that is valid.
  
  
  Consult with HR: If you are unsure about the status or the correct procedure, consult with your HR department or the personnel administration team for guidance.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the employee's data. Sometimes, restrictions may be in place that prevent certain actions.
  
  
  Related Information:
