• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HREXP059 - When selecting 'Display Icon Only' all actions must have icons ?

  The SAP error message HREXP059 typically occurs in the context of SAP HR (Human Resources) applications, particularly when configuring or customizing the display settings for actions in the SAP system. This error indicates that when the display option is set to "Display Icon Only," all actions must have corresponding icons assigned to them. If any action lacks an icon, the system will trigger this error.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that one or more actions in the configuration do not have an associated icon. When the display setting is configured to show only icons, the system expects every action to have a visual representation (icon) to display. If any action is missing an icon, the system cannot fulfill the request to display only icons, resulting in the error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve the HREXP059 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Action Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the actions in the SAP HR module.
  Verify that each action has an icon assigned to it. This can typically be done in the customizing settings (transaction code SPRO) under the relevant HR area.
  
  
  
  Assign Icons:
  
  If you find any actions without icons, you will need to assign appropriate icons to those actions. This can usually be done by selecting the action and specifying the icon in the configuration settings.
  
  
  
  Review Display Settings:
  
  If you do not want to assign icons to every action, consider changing the display setting from "Display Icon Only" to a different option that allows for text or other display formats.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the configuration again to ensure that the error no longer appears.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like SPRO (for customizing) or other HR-related transaction codes to access the configuration settings.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation or guides specific to your version of SAP for detailed steps on configuring actions and icons.
