• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPADINPE1141 - In a decision step, one branch can contain only one closure action ?

  The SAP error message HRPADINPE1141 typically occurs in the context of the SAP HR (Human Resources) module, particularly when dealing with workflows or decision steps in the process of managing personnel actions. This error indicates that in a decision step, one branch can only contain one closure action, meaning that the configuration of the workflow is incorrect.
  Cause:
  The error arises when a decision step in a workflow has been configured with multiple closure actions in one branch. In SAP workflows, each branch of a decision step should lead to a single closure action to ensure that the workflow can be processed correctly. If multiple closure actions are defined, the system cannot determine which action to execute, leading to this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve the HRPADINPE1141 error, you should:
  
  
  Review the Workflow Configuration: 
  
  Go to the workflow definition in the SAP system where the error is occurring.
  Identify the decision step that is causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Check the Branches:
  
  Look at the branches of the decision step. Ensure that each branch leads to only one closure action.
  If you find that a branch has multiple closure actions, you will need to modify the workflow to ensure that each branch has only one closure action.
  
  
  
  Modify the Workflow:
  
  If necessary, split the logic into separate branches or decision steps to ensure that each closure action is handled independently.
  Save and activate the modified workflow.
  
  
  
  Test the Workflow:
  
  After making the changes, test the workflow to ensure that it functions correctly without triggering the error.
