  The SAP error message HRPADKW179 indicates that a visa (or work permit) associated with an employee cannot be deleted because it has already been stamped or approved. This typically occurs in the context of managing employee data related to visas and work permits in the Human Resources module of SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Visa Status: The visa has been stamped or approved, which means it is in a finalized state and cannot be deleted.
  Data Integrity: SAP enforces data integrity rules to prevent the deletion of important records that may affect compliance or reporting.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Visa Status: Review the status of the visa in the system. If it is stamped, you may need to consider other actions rather than deletion, such as updating or archiving the record.
  Consult with HR: If you believe the visa should be deleted, consult with your HR department or the person responsible for compliance to understand the implications and whether there are any exceptions.
  Use Change Functionality: Instead of deleting, you may need to use the change functionality to update the visa details if necessary.
  Archiving: If the record needs to be removed from active use but cannot be deleted, consider archiving the record if your organization has an archiving policy in place.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or your organization's SAP documentation for specific guidelines on managing visa and work permit records.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that you have the appropriate permissions to make changes to employee records, as restrictions may apply based on user roles.
