• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HR001PL072 - PESEL number does not match gender ?

  The SAP error message HR001PL072 indicates that there is a mismatch between the PESEL number (a Polish national identification number) and the gender of the individual in the system. The PESEL number contains information about the individual's gender, and if the gender specified in the SAP system does not match the gender inferred from the PESEL number, this error will occur.
  Cause:
  
  
  PESEL Number Format: The PESEL number is a 11-digit number where the 10th digit indicates the gender:
  
  Odd digits (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) indicate a male.
  Even digits (0, 2, 4, 6, 8) indicate a female.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Gender Assignment: The gender assigned in the SAP system does not correspond to the gender indicated by the PESEL number.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: There may have been a mistake in entering either the PESEL number or the gender in the SAP system.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify PESEL Number: Check the PESEL number for accuracy. Ensure that it is correctly entered and follows the proper format.
  
  
  Check Gender Assignment: Review the gender assigned to the individual in the SAP system. Make sure it matches the gender indicated by the PESEL number.
  
  
  Correct Data: If there is a mismatch, correct either the PESEL number or the gender in the SAP system to ensure they are consistent.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct PESEL number or gender assignment, refer to official documentation or guidelines regarding PESEL numbers and gender identification.
