• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRIESP004 - Employee by-passed as they are not 'Active' or 'Retiree' on &1 ?

  The SAP error message HRIESP004 indicates that an employee has been bypassed in a specific process because their status is neither 'Active' nor 'Retiree' on the specified date (denoted by &1). This error typically occurs in the context of HR processes, such as payroll, benefits administration, or reporting, where only employees with certain statuses are eligible for processing.
  Cause:
  
  Employee Status: The employee in question may have a status that is not considered active or retired. This could include statuses such as 'Terminated', 'On Leave', 'Inactive', etc.
  Date Context: The error message references a specific date (&1). If the employee's status changes around this date, it may lead to this error.
  Data Entry Errors: There may be incorrect data entries in the employee's master data that affect their status.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Employee Status: Review the employee's status in the system. You can do this by navigating to the employee's master data (PA30 transaction) and checking the 'Status' field.
  Update Status: If the employee is supposed to be active or retired, update their status accordingly. This may involve changing their employment status or correcting any data entry errors.
  Review Date Context: Ensure that the date being referenced (&1) is correct and that the employee's status is appropriate for that date.
  Consult HR Policies: If the employee's status is correct but still results in the error, consult your HR policies to ensure that the employee is eligible for the process being executed.
  Check for Pending Actions: Sometimes, there may be pending actions (like terminations or leaves) that need to be processed before the employee can be considered active or retired.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to check and update employee information.
  HR Infotypes: Familiarize yourself with relevant infotypes (e.g., Infotype 0000 for Actions, Infotype 0001 for Organizational Assignment) to understand how employee statuses are managed.
  Authorization: Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to view and modify employee data.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's HR guidelines for more detailed procedures on handling employee statuses.
  
  If the issue persists after checking these areas, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP HR support team or a functional consultant for further assistance.
