• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS744 - Personal address data are not allowed, check input data ?

  The SAP error message WS744: "Personal address data are not allowed, check input data" typically occurs in the context of HR master data maintenance or personnel administration, especially when dealing with address data in infotypes such as IT0006 (Addresses).
  
  Cause
  
  Incorrect or inconsistent address data input: The system expects certain address data formats or specific address types, and the entered data does not comply with these rules.
  Address type restrictions: Some personnel subareas or employee groups may not allow personal address data to be maintained or require company address data only.
  Configuration settings: The system configuration for address infotypes or personnel administration may restrict the use of personal address data for certain employee groups or organizational units.
  Missing or incorrect country or region codes: Address data often requires valid country and region codes; if these are missing or invalid, the system may reject the data.
  Data entry in the wrong infotype or field: Sometimes, personal address data is entered in a field or infotype that only accepts company or business addresses.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the input data:
  
  Verify that the address data entered is complete and correct.
  Ensure that country, region, postal codes, and other mandatory fields are properly filled with valid values.
  
  
  
  Review address type:
  
  Confirm that the address type you are trying to maintain is allowed for the employee group or personnel subarea.
  Use the correct address type (e.g., '1' for permanent address, '2' for temporary address) as per your organizational rules.
  
  
  
  Check configuration:
  
  Review the configuration in SPRO under Personnel Management ? Personnel Administration ? Basic Settings ? Addresses.
  Verify if there are any restrictions on address maintenance for the employee subgroup or personnel subarea.
  Check if the infotype 0006 is configured correctly and allowed for the employee group.
  
  
  
  Use correct infotype:
  
  Make sure you are maintaining the address data in the correct infotype (usually IT0006).
  Avoid entering personal address data in infotypes or fields meant for company addresses.
  
  
  
  Check for user exits or validations:
  
  Sometimes custom validations or user exits (e.g., in PEA00001 or PEA00002) may restrict address data input.
  Review any custom code that might be causing the rejection.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Search for relevant SAP Notes that might address this error message or related issues.
  For example, SAP Note 123456 (example) might provide a patch or workaround.
