• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPBSNO059 - Employment status 1 or 2 is missing for &1 ?

  The SAP error message HRPBSNO059 indicates that there is a missing employment status for a specific employee (represented by &1). This error typically arises in the context of Human Resources (HR) and Payroll processes within SAP, particularly when the system is trying to process employee data but cannot find the required employment status.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Employment Status: The primary cause of this error is that the employee's record does not have an assigned employment status (1 or 2). Employment status codes are crucial for determining the employee's current state (e.g., active, inactive, on leave).
  Data Entry Errors: There may have been an oversight during data entry, where the employment status was not filled in or was incorrectly entered.
  Configuration Issues: There could be issues with the configuration of the HR module, where the employment status is not properly defined or linked to the employee's record.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system, the employment status may not have been transferred correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Employee Master Data: 
  
  Go to the employee's master data in the SAP system (transaction code PA30).
  Verify if the employment status is correctly maintained in the relevant infotype (usually Infotype 0000 - Actions).
  If it is missing, you will need to add or correct the employment status.
  
  
  
  Update Employment Status:
  
  If the employment status is incorrect or missing, update it to the appropriate value (1 for active, 2 for inactive, etc.).
  Ensure that the change is saved and that the employee's record is updated.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If you suspect a configuration issue, consult with your SAP HR module administrator or consultant to ensure that the employment status settings are correctly configured in the system.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Migration Issues:
  
  If the employee data was migrated from another system, verify that the migration process included the employment status and that it was mapped correctly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the process that triggered the error to ensure that it is resolved.
