  The SAP error message R111091, which states "Gender was set to &1 by default," typically occurs in the context of personnel administration or employee master data management. This message indicates that the system has automatically assigned a default gender value (either 'M' for male or 'F' for female) to a personnel record because no specific gender was provided during data entry.

  Check and Update Employee Data:
  
  Navigate to the employee master data (transaction code PA30).
  Locate the specific employee record that triggered the error.
  Check the gender field and ensure it is filled in correctly (either 'M' or 'F').
  Save the changes to the employee record.
  
  
  
  Review Data Entry Processes:
  
  Ensure that the data entry forms or processes require the gender field to be filled out before submission.
  Consider implementing validation checks to prevent saving records with missing mandatory fields.
  
  
  
  Adjust Default Settings (if necessary):
  
  If the default gender setting is not appropriate for your organization, you may want to review and adjust the default settings in the configuration (this typically requires access to the SAP configuration settings).
