• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRHAP00_TEMPLATE158 - Value determination '&1' is not possible without an appraisee ?

  The SAP error message HRHAP00_TEMPLATE158 indicates that a value determination for a specific field (represented by &1) cannot be performed because there is no appraisee (the person being evaluated) associated with the process. This error typically occurs in the context of the SAP HCM (Human Capital Management) module, particularly in the Performance Management or Appraisal processes.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Appraisee: The most common cause of this error is that the appraisal process is being initiated or executed without specifying an appraisee. The system requires an appraisee to determine values related to performance, goals, or other metrics.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the appraisal template or the performance management process that prevent the appraisee from being recognized.
  Data Inconsistencies: There could be inconsistencies in the data, such as missing or incorrect employee records, which can lead to the system not being able to identify the appraisee.
  
  Solution:
  
  Specify an Appraisee: Ensure that an appraisee is selected in the appraisal process. This can usually be done in the initial setup or selection screen of the appraisal.
  Check Template Configuration: Review the configuration of the appraisal template to ensure that it is set up correctly to include appraisee information. Make sure that the template is designed to pull the necessary data for the appraisee.
  Review Employee Data: Check the employee records to ensure that the appraisee exists in the system and that all necessary data is complete and accurate. This includes verifying that the employee is active and has the required attributes for the appraisal.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the appraisal process and any prerequisites that need to be met.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider using debugging tools or transaction codes (like SE80 or SE37) to trace the process and identify where the appraisee information is being lost or not being recognized.
