  The SAP error message 9J585 indicates that there is a missing default recipient for personnel performance evaluations in the organizational structure. This typically occurs in the context of performance management processes where the system expects a designated recipient (such as a manager or HR representative) to be assigned for performance evaluations, but cannot find one.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The default recipient for performance evaluations has not been configured in the system.
  Organizational Structure Issues: The organizational structure may not be properly set up, leading to the absence of a designated recipient.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies or missing data in the relevant infotypes (e.g., infotype 0001 for organizational assignment).
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or assign the default recipient.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration settings in the SAP system (usually in the SPRO transaction).
  Ensure that the default recipient for performance evaluations is set up correctly for the relevant organizational units.

  Assign Default Recipient:
