  The SAP error message CNVHCM_PRESEL304 indicates that a personnel number has been removed from the results of a query or operation due to insufficient authorizations. This typically occurs in the context of HR or personnel management transactions where user permissions are critical for accessing sensitive employee data.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user executing the transaction does not have the necessary authorizations to view or manipulate the personnel data associated with the specified personnel number.
  Authorization Objects: The relevant authorization objects (such as P_ORGIN, P_PERNR, etc.) may not be properly assigned to the user’s role.
  Organizational Level Restrictions: The user may have restrictions based on organizational levels that prevent access to certain personnel numbers.
  Data Privacy Regulations: Compliance with data privacy regulations may restrict access to certain employee data based on the user's role.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure that the necessary authorizations are included.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorization objects.
  Ensure that the role includes access to the relevant personnel numbers and organizational units.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to authorizations, test the transaction again to ensure that the personnel number is now accessible.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Document any changes made to user roles and authorizations for future reference and compliance purposes.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects for HR data access, such as:
  
  P_ORGIN: HR Master Data
