• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SHCM/EMPLOYEE_INT070 - No internal employment found for ext. employee &1 in S/4 key mapping ?

  The SAP error message /SHCM/EMPLOYEE_INT070 indicates that the system could not find an internal employment record for the specified external employee in the S/4HANA key mapping. This typically occurs in scenarios where there is an integration between external systems (like a third-party HR system) and SAP S/4HANA, particularly in employee data management.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Internal Employment Record: The internal employment record for the external employee ID does not exist in the SAP system.
  Incorrect Mapping: There may be an issue with the mapping between the external employee ID and the internal employee ID.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system, there may have been errors or omissions during the migration process.
  Integration Issues: Problems in the integration process (e.g., middleware issues) could lead to the failure to create or update the internal employment record.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings for employee integration may not be set up correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Internal Employment Records: Verify if the internal employment record exists for the external employee ID. You can do this by checking the relevant tables in SAP (e.g., PA0001 for employee master data).
  Review Mapping Configuration: Ensure that the mapping between external and internal employee IDs is correctly configured. This can usually be found in the integration settings or configuration for employee data.
  Data Migration Review: If the data was migrated, review the migration logs and processes to ensure that all necessary records were created in the SAP system.
  Integration Monitoring: Check the integration logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate why the internal employment record was not created or updated.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to employee integration and mapping to ensure that all steps have been followed correctly.
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance, especially if it appears to be a system bug or a more complex integration issue.
  
  Related Information:

  PA0001 (HR Master Record: Infotype 0001)
  PA0002 (HR Master Record: Infotype 0002)
  PA0003 (HR Master Record: Infotype 0003)
  
  
  Integration Tools: If using middleware (like SAP PI/PO or SAP Cloud Platform Integration), check the configuration and logs there as well.
