• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPIQ00ACCOUNTING213 - No change pointer found ?

  The SAP error message HRPIQ00ACCOUNTING213: No change pointer found typically occurs in the context of the SAP HR (Human Resources) module, particularly when dealing with infotypes and change pointers. This error indicates that the system is unable to find a change pointer for the data you are trying to process, which can prevent updates or processing of certain HR-related data.
  Causes:
  
  
  Missing Change Pointers: The most common cause is that there are no change pointers created for the infotype or data you are trying to process. Change pointers are used in SAP to track changes in data, and if none exist, the system cannot proceed.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration for change pointers may not be set up correctly in the system. This could involve settings in the relevant infotype or in the change pointer management.
  
  
  Data Not Changed: If the data has not been changed since the last processing, there may not be any change pointers generated.
  
  
  Buffer Issues: Sometimes, issues with the buffer or the background job that processes change pointers can lead to this error.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Change Pointer Configuration:
  
  Ensure that change pointers are activated for the relevant infotype. You can check this in the configuration settings for the infotype in transaction code SPRO.
  Navigate to Cross-Application Components > Change Pointers > Activate Change Pointers and verify that the relevant infotype is included.
  
  
  
  Generate Change Pointers:
  
  If you need to create change pointers manually, you can do this by making a change to the relevant infotype data. This can be done through transaction PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) or similar transactions.
  
  
  
  Run Report for Change Pointers:
  
  You can run the report RHALEINI to initialize change pointers for the relevant infotypes. This report can help in generating the necessary change pointers if they are missing.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Changes:
  
  Ensure that the data you are trying to process has indeed been changed. If no changes have been made, the system will not generate change pointers.
  
  
  
  Review Background Jobs:
  
  If you are using background jobs to process change pointers, check the job logs for any errors or issues that may have occurred during processing.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
