• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPAYFR_N4DS121 - Select only one establishment ?

  The SAP error message HRPAYFR_N4DS121 typically occurs in the context of payroll processing in the SAP HR module, particularly for the French payroll system. This error indicates that the system requires the selection of only one establishment (or company code) for processing payroll data, but multiple establishments have been selected.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the selection of multiple establishments in a payroll processing transaction where the system expects only one establishment to be selected. This can happen if:
  
  The user has inadvertently selected multiple company codes or establishments in the payroll run.
  The configuration of the payroll process is set to handle only one establishment at a time.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you should:
  
  Check Your Selection Criteria: Ensure that you are selecting only one establishment when initiating the payroll process. Review the selection screen and deselect any additional establishments.
  Review Payroll Configuration: If you are consistently facing this issue, it may be worth reviewing the payroll configuration settings to ensure they align with your business requirements. This may involve consulting with your SAP HR module administrator or a functional consultant.
  Run Payroll for Each Establishment Separately: If you need to process payroll for multiple establishments, consider running the payroll for each establishment individually rather than in a batch.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with the relevant transaction codes used for payroll processing in SAP, such as PC00_MXX_CALC (where XX is the country code).
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files specific to the French payroll module for additional context on handling establishments.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that your user role has the necessary authorizations to perform payroll runs and that you are following the correct procedures as defined by your organization.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a technical consultant who can provide deeper insights into the configuration and potential issues within your SAP environment.
