SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HR_PAY_B2A - HR-B2A: Message Class for B2A

• Message number: 025

• Message text: The process stops at a breakpoint

What causes this issue?

The process stops at a designated breakpoint. This is used to control
the individual process steps. The process does not continue until you
have removed the breakpoint and executed the process again.

System Response

In the B2A Manager, processes are usually processed in a number of steps
that can be identified by their status and substatus. In the customer
view "Cust. Maint. Method Table for Statuses/Substatuses", you can
specify a breakpoint before or after each individual processing step
(V_T50BFC).
You start/continue the process in the B2A manager by choosing the
"Execute" pushbutton. When a breakpoint is reached, the process is
interrupted and cannot be continued until the breakpoint is deleted in
the B2A Manager.

How to fix this error?

The overview of processes in the B2A Manager includes the "Breakpoint"
column. Interrupted processes are indicated here by a pushbutton with
the STOP icon. (You may need to show this column in the layout.) You can
remove the breakpoint by choosing this pushbutton (or using the menu).
You can then continue the process by choosing the "Execute" pushbutton.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HR_PAY_B2A025 - The process stops at a breakpoint ?

  The SAP error message HR_PAY_B2A025, which states "The process stops at a breakpoint," typically occurs during the execution of a payroll process or a related program in the SAP HR module. This error indicates that the program has encountered a breakpoint, which is a debugging tool used by developers to pause program execution for troubleshooting purposes.
  Cause:
  
  Breakpoint Set in Code: A developer may have intentionally set a breakpoint in the ABAP code for debugging purposes, and the program execution has reached that point.
  Debugging Mode: The system might be running in debugging mode, which can cause the program to stop at breakpoints.
  Transport Issues: If the code was recently transported from a development environment to a production environment, it might contain breakpoints that were not removed.
  Custom Code: If there are custom enhancements or modifications in the payroll process, they may contain breakpoints.
  
  Solution:
  
  Remove Breakpoints: If you have access to the ABAP development environment, you can remove the breakpoints from the code. Use transaction code SE80 or SE38 to access the program and remove any breakpoints.
  Check Debugging Settings: Ensure that the system is not running in debugging mode. You can check this in the user settings or by using transaction code /h to toggle debugging mode.
  Transport Review: If the issue arose after a transport, review the transported objects to ensure that no breakpoints were included unintentionally.
  Contact Developer: If you are not a developer, contact your ABAP team or SAP support to investigate the issue further and remove any unnecessary breakpoints.
  Testing in Development: If you are testing a new payroll process, consider doing so in a development or quality assurance environment where breakpoints can be managed without affecting production.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Debugging in SAP: Understanding how to use the debugger can help you identify issues in custom code. Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) and SE38 (ABAP Editor).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues related to the specific payroll process you are running. SAP Notes can provide patches or additional guidance.
  Documentation: Review the documentation for the payroll process you are executing to ensure that all configurations are correct and that there are no known issues.
  
  If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, it may be necessary to escalate the issue to SAP support for further assistance.
