• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RP746 - Temporary hiring: Relationship to position is delimited to &1 ?

  The SAP error message RP746 "Temporary hiring: Relationship to position is delimited to &1" typically occurs in the context of personnel administration and organizational management when there is an issue with the relationship between an employee and their position in the organizational structure.
  Cause:
  This error message indicates that the relationship between the employee and the position is limited to a specific date (denoted by &1). This usually happens when:
  
  The employee's assignment to the position has a defined end date, and the current date is beyond that end date.
  The employee is being hired temporarily, and the system recognizes that the relationship to the position is no longer valid.
  There may be a mismatch in the validity period of the position or the employee's assignment.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Validity Dates:
  
  Go to the employee's master data (PA30) and check the validity dates of the position assignment. Ensure that the current date falls within the validity period.
  If the assignment is temporary, verify the end date and adjust it if necessary.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Position Assignment:
  
  If the employee should still be assigned to the position, you may need to extend the validity period of the position assignment.
  If the assignment is no longer valid, you may need to remove or update the position assignment accordingly.
  
  
  
  Review Organizational Structure:
  
  Check the organizational structure to ensure that the position is still active and has not been delimited or changed in a way that affects the employee's assignment.
  
  
  
  Consult with HR or System Administrator:
  
  If you are unsure about making changes, consult with your HR department or SAP system administrator for guidance on how to proceed.
  
  
  
  Check for Customizations:
  
  If your organization has customizations in the SAP system, ensure that these do not interfere with the standard behavior of position assignments.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data), PA20 (Display HR Master Data), or PPOME (Change Organizational Structure) to investigate and make necessary changes.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for more details on personnel administration and organizational management.
  Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal IT support team for further assistance.
