  The SAP error message HR99B_HRF_MESSAGES002 indicates that a print process has been initiated in the background. This message typically arises in the context of HR (Human Resources) processes, particularly when generating reports or documents that are intended to be printed.
  Cause:
  
  Background Job Initiation: The error usually occurs when a print job is started in the background, which may not be configured correctly or may not have the necessary permissions.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the print settings in SAP, such as the output device not being defined or not being available.
  User Authorizations: The user may lack the necessary authorizations to execute print jobs in the background.

  Solution:
  
  Check Background Job Status: Go to transaction SM37 to check the status of the background job. Look for any errors or issues that may have occurred during the job execution.

  User Authorizations: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to execute background jobs and print documents. This can be checked in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your SAP security team.
  Adjust Print Settings: If the print job is not meant to be in the background, check the settings in the transaction or program that initiated the print job. Ensure that it is set to print in the foreground if that is the desired behavior.
