• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R11150 - Employee relationship does not exist between partners &1 and &2 ?

  The SAP error message R11150, which states "Employee relationship does not exist between partners &1 and &2," typically occurs in the context of HR or personnel management when there is an attempt to perform an action that requires a defined relationship between two employee records (partners) in the system.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Missing Relationship: There is no defined relationship between the two employee records in the system. For example, if you are trying to transfer or assign a task between two employees, the system expects a relationship (like manager-subordinate) to exist.
  
  
  Incorrect Partner IDs: The partner IDs (&1 and &2) referenced in the error message may be incorrect or not properly configured in the system.
  
  
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the employee master data, such as missing or incorrect entries in the infotypes that define relationships.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or manipulate the relationships between the specified partners.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the R11150 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Employee Relationships:
  
  Use transaction code PPOME (or PPOSE) to check the organizational structure and verify if the relationship between the two employees exists.
  If the relationship is missing, you may need to create it using the appropriate infotype (e.g., infotype 1001 for relationships).
  
  
  
  Verify Partner IDs:
  
  Ensure that the partner IDs (&1 and &2) are correct. You can check the employee master data using transaction PA20 or PA30.
  
  
  
  Maintain Relationships:
  
  If the relationship does not exist, you can create it by maintaining the relevant infotype (e.g., 1001 for relationships) for the employee records.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to view and manage employee relationships. This may involve checking roles and authorizations in the user profile.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP HR module expert for specific guidance related to your organization's configuration.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the transaction again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Infotypes: Familiarize yourself with relevant infotypes that manage employee relationships, such as:
  
  Infotype 1001 (Relationships)
