• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message P2612 - Employee not allowed for PDC according to P0007-ZTERF ?

  The SAP error message P2612 ("Employee not allowed for PDC according to P0007-ZTERF") typically occurs in the context of the Personnel Development and Control (PDC) module when there is an issue with the employee's assignment or status in relation to the PDC settings.
  Cause:
  The error indicates that the employee is not authorized for PDC based on the configuration in the infotype P0007 (Planned Working Time). Specifically, the field ZTERF (which is a custom field or a specific field in your configuration) is likely set in a way that restricts the employee from being included in PDC processes. This could be due to:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The ZTERF field may be set incorrectly for the employee in infotype P0007.
  Employee Status: The employee may have a status that does not allow them to be processed in PDC (e.g., inactive, on leave, etc.).
  Authorization Issues: The employee may not have the necessary authorizations or roles assigned to participate in PDC activities.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Infotype P0007:
  
  Go to the employee's master data and check the entries in infotype P0007.
  Verify the value in the ZTERF field. Ensure that it is set correctly according to your organization's PDC requirements.
  
  
  
  Review Employee Status:
  
  Check the employee's current status in the system. If the employee is inactive or on leave, you may need to update their status or wait until they are eligible for PDC.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the employee has the necessary authorizations to be included in PDC. This may involve checking roles and profiles assigned to the employee.
  
  
  
  Consult with HR or System Administrator:
  
  If you are unsure about the correct settings or configurations, consult with your HR department or SAP system administrator. They can provide insights into the specific configurations and policies in place.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making any changes, test the PDC process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
