  Cause
  This error occurs when a function module or a process in SAP HR (Human Resources) or Payroll tries to handle personnel numbers, but the system is configured to accept only numerical personnel numbers with a maximum length of 8 digits. The function or program expects personnel numbers in a specific format (numerical and up to 8 digits), but the input or configuration does not comply with this.
  In other words, the system is set up to use numerical personnel numbers with a maximum length of 8 characters, but the function or data being processed violates this rule (e.g., personnel number is alphanumeric, longer than 8 digits, or the system is not properly configured).
  
  When does this occur?
  
  During personnel number validation in HR master data processing.
  When running payroll or HR reports that
