  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_PPW871 - Enter name for organization set &1; save cancelled ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WRF_PPW871 Enter name for organization set &1; save cancelled


    Cause:

    This error occurs when you try to save an organizational object (such as a position, job, or organizational unit) in SAP HR (HCM) without specifying a name for the organization set. The organization set is a grouping or categorization used in Personnel Planning and Organizational Management to organize objects logically.

    The system requires a name for the organization set to proceed with the save. If the name field is left blank or not entered, the save operation is cancelled, and this error message is triggered.


    Explanation:

    • Organization Set: A container or grouping for organizational objects.
    • The system expects a non-empty name for this set.
    • The placeholder &1 in the message is replaced by the actual organization set ID or description.

    Solution:

    1. Enter a valid name for the organization set before saving:

      • When creating or editing an organizational object, ensure that the field for the organization set name is filled.
      • This is usually done in the initial screen or in the relevant tab where organizational sets are maintained.
    2. Check the configuration if the name field is not visible or editable:

      • Sometimes, the screen layout or user role might restrict access to this field.
      • Consult with your SAP HR/OM consultant or system administrator to verify the screen configuration or authorization.
    3. If the name is entered but error persists:

      • Verify that the name does not contain invalid characters.
      • Check for any custom validations or user exits that might be interfering.

    Summary:

    • Cause: Missing name for the organization set during save.
