• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SHCM/ONEMDS_WFP_BL103 - Only internal number ranges for personnel numbers are allowed ?

  The SAP error message /SHCM/ONEMDS_WFP_BL103: Only internal number ranges for personnel numbers are allowed typically occurs in the context of SAP SuccessFactors or SAP HCM (Human Capital Management) when there is an issue with the configuration of personnel number ranges. This error indicates that the system is expecting an internal number range for personnel numbers, but it has encountered an external number range or an invalid configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issue: The personnel number range is set to external instead of internal. In SAP, internal number ranges are automatically generated by the system, while external number ranges are manually assigned.
  Incorrect Settings in Number Range Object: The number range object for personnel numbers may not be configured correctly in the system.
  Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system, the personnel numbers may not conform to the expected internal format.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the number range object related to personnel numbers (usually PERNR).
  Ensure that the number range is set to internal. If it is set to external, you will need to change it to internal.
  
  
  
  Adjust Personnel Number Assignment:
  
  If you are creating new personnel numbers, ensure that you are allowing the system to generate them automatically.
  If you need to use specific personnel numbers, ensure that they fall within the defined internal number range.
  
  
  
  Review Data Migration:
  
  If this error occurred after a data migration, review the data to ensure that all personnel numbers are valid and conform to the internal number range settings.
  You may need to adjust the personnel numbers in the migrated data to fit the internal range.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
