  The SAP error message HRFPM_FTE106 indicates that an evaluation can only be performed for business structure (BS) elements that have Full-Time Equivalents (FTEs) associated with them. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Human Resources (HR) module, particularly when dealing with personnel administration or organizational management.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to evaluate or process a business structure element (like a position, job, or organizational unit) that does not have any FTEs assigned to it. This can happen due to several reasons:

  Review FTE Settings:
  
  Check the FTE settings for the business structure element. Ensure that the FTE values are correctly defined and that they reflect the actual staffing levels.
  If necessary, update the FTE values to reflect the current staffing situation.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
