  Cause:
  The error message "Personnel number rejected: Personnel number blocked" usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Personnel Number Blocked: The personnel number in question has been marked as blocked in the system. This could be due to various reasons, such as:
  
  The employee has left the organization.
  The employee's record is under review or audit.
  The employee is on a leave of absence or has been suspended.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the HR module that prevent processing for certain personnel numbers.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: There might be a mistake in the personnel number entered, leading to the system not recognizing it correctly.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Personnel Status:
  
  Use transaction code PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to check the status of the personnel number.
  Look for any indicators that show the personnel number is blocked.
  
  
  
  Unblock the Personnel Number:
  
  If the personnel number is indeed blocked and you have the necessary authorization, you can unblock it by changing the status in the HR master data.
  This can typically be done in the Actions infotype (0000) or the Status infotype (0001).
  
  
  
  Consult with HR:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to unblock the personnel number, consult with your HR department or system administrator to understand why the personnel number is blocked and whether it should remain blocked.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If the issue persists, review the configuration settings in the HR module to ensure that there are no rules or settings that are incorrectly blocking personnel numbers.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Entry Errors:
