• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SHCM/EMPLOYEE_INT052 - Different OriginlSystems specified in payload ?

  The SAP error message /SHCM/EMPLOYEE_INT052 Different Original Systems specified in payload typically occurs during data integration processes, particularly when dealing with Employee Master Data in SAP SuccessFactors or similar systems. This error indicates that the system has detected multiple original systems specified in the payload being processed, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Source Systems: The payload being sent to SAP contains data from different source systems, which is not permissible. For example, if you are trying to upload employee data from both SAP and a third-party system in a single transaction, this error will occur.

  Check the Payload: Review the payload being sent to ensure that it only contains data from a single original system. If you need to send data from multiple systems, separate the payloads and process them individually.
  Review Integration Configuration: Ensure that the integration settings are correctly configured to handle data from the intended source system. This may involve checking middleware settings or API configurations.
  Data Mapping: Ensure that the data mapping between the source systems and SAP is correctly defined. This includes verifying that the identifiers and fields match the expected formats.
  Testing: Conduct tests with smaller datasets to isolate the issue. This can help identify if specific records are causing the problem.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or integration guides specific to the systems you are working with for any additional configuration or requirements.
