• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPADOM002 - Only four wives allowed ?

  The SAP error message HRPADOM002: "Only four wives allowed" is related to the management of employee data in the SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) module, specifically in the context of managing marital status and dependents in certain countries where polygamy is recognized.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when an attempt is made to enter more than four spouses (wives) for an employee in the system. The limitation is often based on legal or cultural norms in specific regions where the SAP system is configured to operate. The system is designed to enforce this limit to ensure compliance with local laws and regulations.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Employee Data: Check the employee's marital status and dependent information in the system. Ensure that you are not exceeding the limit of four wives.
  
  
  Remove Excess Entries: If there are more than four entries for wives, you will need to remove or deactivate the excess entries. This can typically be done through the employee's infotype (e.g., Infotype 0021 for family members).
  
  
  Consult with HR Policies: If the employee's situation requires more than four wives (for example, in a cultural context), consult with your HR department or legal team to understand the implications and whether any exceptions can be made.
  
  
  System Configuration: If necessary, and if it aligns with your organization's policies, you may need to consult with your SAP administrator or technical team to see if the system configuration can be adjusted to accommodate specific needs, although this is generally not recommended due to legal implications.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Infotypes: In SAP HCM, employee data is managed through infotypes. Infotype 0021 (Family/Dependents) is typically where spouse information is stored.
  Legal Compliance: Always ensure that any changes made to employee data comply with local laws and organizational policies.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support for more detailed information on managing employee data and understanding specific error messages.
