  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAY99PM412 - Only enter numerical values ?

    The SAP error message HRPAY99PM412: "Only enter numerical values" typically occurs in the context of payroll processing or personnel administration when a user attempts to input a non-numeric value in a field that is expected to contain only numerical data. This can happen in various scenarios, such as entering amounts, hours, or other numerical data related to payroll.

    Cause:

    1. Incorrect Input: The most common cause is that the user has entered a character or string that is not a number (e.g., letters, special characters) in a field that requires a numerical value.
    2. Field Configuration: The field may be configured to accept only numeric values, and any deviation from this will trigger the error.
    3. Data Import Issues: If data is being imported from an external source, non-numeric values may inadvertently be included in fields that should only contain numbers.

    Solution:

    1. Check Input: Review the input data in the field where the error occurred. Ensure that only numerical values (digits) are entered. Remove any letters, spaces, or special characters.
    2. Field Validation: If you are unsure about the expected format, check the field's documentation or help text to understand what values are acceptable.
    3. Data Cleansing: If the error arises from a data import, ensure that the source data is cleaned and validated to contain only numeric values in the relevant fields before importing it into SAP.
