• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRFPM162 - Filter for variant &1 of object collector does not exist ?

  The SAP error message HRFPM162 indicates that there is an issue with a filter variant for an object collector in the SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Human Resources (HR) or SAP SuccessFactors when trying to access or execute a report or transaction that relies on a specific filter variant that has not been defined or is missing.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Filter Variant: The specified filter variant (denoted by &1 in the error message) does not exist in the system. This could be due to it being deleted, not created, or incorrectly referenced.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration for the object collector may not be set up correctly, leading to the system being unable to find the required filter variant.
  Transport Issues: If the filter variant was recently transported from another system, it may not have been included in the transport request or may not have been activated properly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Filter Variants: 
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., transaction code for the report or object collector) and check if the filter variant exists.
  If it does not exist, you may need to create it or restore it from a backup if available.
  
  
  
  Create or Modify Filter Variant:
  
  If you need to create a new filter variant, navigate to the appropriate configuration area in SAP and define the filter variant with the required parameters.
  Ensure that the variant name matches what is being referenced in the error message.
  
  
  
  Review Object Collector Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings for the object collector to ensure that it is correctly set up to reference the filter variant.
  Make any necessary adjustments to the configuration.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, verify that the transport request included the necessary filter variant and that it was successfully imported into the target system.
  If needed, re-transport the filter variant or manually create it in the target system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific object collector and filter variants for any additional guidance or known issues.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the context, you may need to use specific transaction codes to manage filter variants (e.g., SE93 for transaction variants, SE11 for data dictionary objects).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the HRFPM162 error message.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and modify filter variants and object collectors.
