• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRSFEC_KEY_MAPPING027 - More than one entry in key mapp for pers nr &1, category &2, ext code &3 ?

  The SAP error message HRSFEC_KEY_MAPPING027 indicates that there is more than one entry in the key mapping table for a specific personnel number (pers nr), category, and external code. This typically occurs in the context of SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central integration with SAP ERP or other systems, where key mapping is used to ensure that data is correctly synchronized between systems.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the presence of multiple entries in the key mapping table for the same combination of:
  
  Personnel Number (pers nr): The unique identifier for an employee.
  Category: The type of mapping (e.g., employee type, job code).
  External Code (ext code): The code used in the external system.
  
  This situation can arise due to:
  
  Duplicate entries in the key mapping table.
  Incorrect data entry or configuration in the mapping settings.
  Changes in the external system that have not been reflected in the key mapping.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Key Mapping Table:
  
  Access the key mapping table in your SAP system (usually found in the relevant configuration area).
  Look for entries that match the personnel number, category, and external code mentioned in the error message.
  
  
  
  Identify Duplicates:
  
  Identify any duplicate entries for the specified combination.
  Determine which entry is correct or if they all need to be adjusted.
  
  
  
  Remove or Correct Duplicates:
  
  If duplicates are found, remove or correct the unnecessary entries to ensure that there is only one valid mapping for the specified combination.
  Ensure that the remaining entry is accurate and reflects the correct mapping.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making changes, test the integration or process that triggered the error to ensure that it now works without issues.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings for key mapping to prevent future occurrences of this issue.
  Ensure that data entry processes are followed correctly to avoid duplicates.
