• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRMGE00GENERAL116 - Create a record for infotype Assignment Details (0710) first ?

  The SAP error message HRMGE00GENERAL116 indicates that there is an issue with creating or processing a record for the infotype 0710 (Assignment Details). This error typically arises when the system expects a record in infotype 0710 to exist before you can create or modify records in other related infotypes.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Infotype Record: The primary cause of this error is that the system requires a record in infotype 0710 to be created first. If you are trying to create or modify records in other infotypes (like 0711, 0712, etc.) that depend on the assignment details, and there is no corresponding record in infotype 0710, the system will throw this error.
  Incorrect Sequence of Data Entry: The data entry sequence might not be followed correctly. Infotype 0710 must be created before any dependent infotypes can be processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create Infotype 0710 Record:
  
  Navigate to the transaction code PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data).
  Enter the employee's personnel number and select the infotype 0710.
  If there is no existing record, create a new record for infotype 0710 with the necessary details.
  Save the record.
  
  
  
  Check Existing Records:
  
  If you believe a record should exist, check if it has been deleted or if there are any inconsistencies in the data.
  Use transaction PA20 (Display HR Master Data) to view existing records for the employee.
  
  
  
  Follow Correct Data Entry Sequence:
  
  Ensure that you are following the correct sequence of data entry as required by your organization's HR processes. Infotype 0710 should always be created before any dependent infotypes.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Infotype 0710 (Assignment Details): This infotype is used to store information about the employee's assignment details, such as the position, organizational unit, and other relevant assignment data.
  Dependent Infotypes: Infotypes like 0711 (Assignment Details - Additional Data) and 0712 (Assignment Details - History) may depend on the existence of infotype 0710.
  SAP Notes and Documentation: If the issue persists, consider checking SAP Notes or documentation related to HR infotypes for any specific configurations or known issues.
  
  If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP HR module administrator or technical support for further assistance.
