• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WTY020 - Choose function in continual sequence beginning with 1 ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WTY020 - Choose function in continual sequence beginning with 1
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you are entering or processing functions (usually in the context of time evaluation, payroll, or personnel calculation rules) and the function numbers are not in a continuous sequence starting from 1. SAP expects the function numbers to be sequential without gaps or duplicates, beginning with 1.
  For example, if you have function numbers like 1, 2, 4, 5, the system will raise this error because function number 3 is missing.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During the creation or modification of personnel calculation rules or time evaluation rules.
  When defining functions in the schema or PCR (Personnel Calculation Rule).
  When entering functions in a sequence where SAP expects continuous numbering.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Review the function numbers you have assigned.
  Ensure that the numbering starts at 1 and increments by 1 for each subsequent function without any gaps or duplicates.
  Correct the sequence so that it is continuous: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...
  Save and reprocess after correcting the sequence.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This error is common in Personnel Calculation Rules (PCRs) and Time Evaluation Schemas.
  Proper sequencing is crucial because SAP processes these functions in order, and gaps can cause processing logic errors.
  Check the transaction or tool where you define these functions (e.g., PE01 for PCRs, or time evaluation schema maintenance).
  If you are importing or copying rules, verify that the numbering remains continuous.
  Refer to SAP Note or documentation related to the specific module (HR, Time Management, Payroll) for detailed guidance on function numbering.
