• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SHCM/EMPLOYEE_INT059 - EmployeeRole &1 allows only one Employment ?

  The SAP error message /SHCM/EMPLOYEE_INT059 indicates that the Employee Role specified (denoted by &1) allows only one employment record for the employee in the system. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) when trying to assign multiple employment records to an employee role that is restricted to a single employment.
  Cause:
  
  Role Restriction: The employee role you are trying to assign allows only one employment record. This is often the case for roles that are meant to represent a single employment relationship, such as a primary job role.
  Existing Employment Record: There is already an existing employment record for the employee under the specified role, and the system does not permit adding another one.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the SAP system may have been set to restrict the number of employment records for certain roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Employment Records: Review the existing employment records for the employee to see if there is already an active record for the specified role. If so, you may need to modify or delete the existing record before adding a new one.
  Role Assignment: If the employee needs to have multiple roles, consider whether a different role that allows multiple employments can be assigned instead.
  Configuration Review: If you believe that the role should allow multiple employments, consult with your SAP HCM configuration team to review the settings for the employee role in question. They may need to adjust the configuration to allow multiple employments if that aligns with your business requirements.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more details on the specific employee role and its restrictions.
