Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5V105 - Do NOT mark the "resident" field when "% foreigners" is filled! ?

  The SAP error message 5V105 indicates that there is a conflict in the data entry related to the "resident" field and the "% foreigners" field in the system. This error typically arises in the context of employee master data or personnel administration, particularly when dealing with employee nationality and residency status.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the system detects that the "resident" field is marked (indicating that the employee is a resident) while the "% foreigners" field is filled out. This is contradictory because if an employee is marked as a resident, it implies that they are not a foreigner, and thus the "% foreigners" field should not be populated.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Review the Employee Data: Check the employee's master data in the relevant infotype (usually IT0002 - Personal Data or IT0006 - Addresses).
  
  
  Correct the Fields:
  
  If the employee is indeed a resident, ensure that the "% foreigners" field is left blank.
  If the employee is a foreigner, then the "resident" field should not be marked.
  
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes to the employee record.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Infotypes: Familiarize yourself with the relevant infotypes in SAP HR that deal with personal data, nationality, and residency status.
  Data Entry Guidelines: Ensure that data entry guidelines are followed to prevent similar errors in the future. This may involve training for HR personnel on how to correctly fill out employee data.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes or documentation that may provide additional context or updates related to this error message.
  
  If the issue persists after correcting the fields, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP documentation for further troubleshooting steps.
