  The SAP error message /SHCM/EMPLOYEE_BL025 indicates that an attempt to delete an employee record was executed in test mode. This typically means that the deletion process was simulated rather than actually performed, allowing users to review the potential impact of the deletion without making any changes to the database.
  Cause:
  
  Test Mode Execution: The deletion was executed in test mode, which is a common practice to ensure that the deletion will not cause any unintended consequences.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to run certain operations in test mode by default, especially in environments where data integrity is critical.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to execute the deletion in production mode.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Execution Mode: Ensure that the deletion is being executed in the correct mode. If you intend to perform the deletion, you need to switch from test mode to production mode.
  Review Configuration: If the system is set to run in test mode by default, you may need to adjust the configuration settings or parameters to allow for production execution.
  User Permissions: Verify that the user has the appropriate permissions to perform the deletion in production mode. If not, you may need to request the necessary authorizations from your SAP security team.
  Run in Production Mode: If you are confident that the deletion is safe, you can re-run the deletion process in production mode. This is usually done by changing a parameter in the transaction or program that you are using.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the context, you might be using transaction codes like PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) or specific custom transactions related to employee management.
  Testing Procedures: It is a best practice to always test deletions in a non-production environment before executing them in production to avoid data loss.
