  The SAP error message HRMSS_WDA017 ("No Personnel Number assigned to &1") typically occurs in the context of the SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) module, particularly when using the Web Dynpro applications for self-service functionalities.

  Solutions:
  
  
  Check User Master Data:
  
  Verify that the user has a personnel number assigned in the SAP system. This can be done by checking the user’s master data in transaction PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data).
