• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRTNM_MSG103 - Employee not added to current batch input: already processed ?

  The SAP error message HRTNM_MSG103 ("Employee not added to current batch input: already processed") typically occurs during the batch input processing of employee data in SAP, particularly when using the transaction for mass data uploads or updates, such as PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) or similar transactions.
  Cause:
  This error indicates that the employee record you are trying to process has already been included in a previous batch input session. The system prevents the same employee from being processed multiple times in the same session to avoid data inconsistencies or duplication.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Batch Input Sessions:
  
  Go to transaction SM35 (Batch Input Monitoring) to check the status of batch input sessions.
  Look for any sessions that may have already processed the employee records in question.
  
  
  
  Review Processed Records:
  
  If the employee has already been processed, you may need to verify the changes made to their records. If the changes are correct, you may not need to reprocess them.
  
  
  
  Modify Input Data:
  
  If you need to make additional changes to the employee's data, ensure that you are not including the same employee in the batch input file again. Instead, focus on the records that have not been processed.
  
  
  
  Create a New Batch Input Session:
  
  If you need to process additional records, create a new batch input session that excludes the already processed employees.
  
  
  
  Error Handling:
  
  If you are using a custom program or script to generate the batch input, ensure that it includes logic to handle already processed records appropriately.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for any specific configurations or settings that might affect batch input processing.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data), SM35 (Batch Input Monitoring), and SE37 (Function Module) if you are working with custom batch input programs.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to batch input processing and the specific error message for additional insights or patches.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to process employee records in the system.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the HRTNM_MSG103 error and successfully manage your batch input processing in SAP.
