  The SAP error message TPM_THX1236 indicates that there is an issue with the copying of HR (Human Resources) objects in the context of a specific transaction or process, likely related to the Transfer Pricing Management (TPM) module. The error specifically states that only HR objects with the status 'Created' or 'Designated' can be copied during the initialization process.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to copy an HR object that does not have the required status. The statuses 'Created' and 'Designated' are typically the only statuses that allow for copying operations. If the HR object you are trying to copy has a different status (e.g., 'Active', 'Inactive', 'Deleted', etc.), the system will prevent the operation and throw this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Status of the HR Object:
  
  Navigate to the relevant HR object in the SAP system.
  Verify its current status. If it is not 'Created' or 'Designated', you will need to change its status.
  
  
  
  Change the Status:
  
  If possible, change the status of the HR object to 'Created' or 'Designated'. This may involve editing the object or creating a new one with the correct status.
  
  
  
  Review the Copying Process:
  
  Ensure that you are following the correct procedure for copying HR objects. Refer to the SAP documentation or your organization's guidelines for the proper steps.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your SAP Administrator:
  
  If you are unsure about how to change the status or if you do not have the necessary permissions, consult with your SAP administrator or a colleague who has experience with HR objects in SAP.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Sometimes, HR objects may have dependencies or relationships with other objects that could affect their status. Ensure that there are no issues with related objects.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP Help Portal for detailed information on HR object statuses and the copying process.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes (e.g., PA30 for HR master data) that may help you in managing HR objects.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message, as they may provide additional insights or patches that could resolve the issue.
