  Error Message
  WPI006: No personnel numbers could be determined
  
  Cause
  This error typically occurs in SAP HR (Human Resources) or Payroll modules when the system tries to process or retrieve personnel data but fails to find any valid personnel numbers (PERNR) for the given selection criteria or context.
  Common causes include:
  
  Incorrect or missing selection criteria: The input parameters or selection criteria used to fetch personnel numbers are either empty, incorrect, or do not match any existing personnel records.
  Personnel numbers not assigned or inactive: The personnel numbers expected to be processed do not exist in the system or are marked as inactive or deleted.
  Integration or interface issues: When data is being transferred from other modules or external systems, the personnel numbers might not be correctly mapped or available.
  Authorization issues: The user or process might not have the necessary authorization to view or process personnel data, resulting in no personnel numbers being returned.
  Custom code or enhancements: If there are custom developments or user exits involved, they might be filtering out personnel numbers incorrectly.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria:
  
  Verify the input parameters or selection criteria used in the transaction or report.
  Ensure that the criteria are correct and correspond to existing personnel records.
  For example, check date ranges, organizational units, personnel areas, or employee groups.
  
  
  
  Verify Personnel Data:
  
  Confirm that personnel numbers exist in the system for the given criteria.
  Use transaction codes like PA20 (Display HR Master Data) or PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to check personnel records.
  Ensure the personnel numbers are active and valid for the period in question.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user executing the process has the necessary authorizations to access personnel data.
  Use transaction SU53 after the error occurs to check for missing authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Interfaces and Data Transfers:
  
  If the error occurs during data transfer or integration, verify that personnel numbers are correctly mapped and transferred.
  Check interface logs and mapping tables.
  
  
  
  Debug or Review Custom Code:
  
  If custom code or user exits are involved, debug or review the logic to ensure personnel numbers are not being filtered out incorrectly.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Process:
