3266815 - Error Message "Number <CENTRAL_PERSON> is already assigned to partner <BP number> for ID type HCM033" Displayed After Replication

Symptom

When updating worker information in any channels, the following error message raised:

  • "Number <CENTRAL_PERSON> is already assigned to partner <BP number> for ID type HCM033", Message no. R1477

Environment

 SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.

Cause

There's an employment BP, but the supplier role was added manually to the employee BP instead of employment BP. As per the New Business Partner Model, the supplier role should be part of the employment BP. When an update is performed for this worker afterwards, this error will be thrown because the ID type HCM033 is part of a separate employment BP, but the supplier role is incorrectly added to the employee BP.

Resolution

For successful replication, remove the supplier role from Employee Business Partner. After that, add the supplier role to the employment BP automatically by sending payment information during employee replication (recommended way) or add the supplier role to employment BP manually.

The steps mentioned below can be followed to archive the supplier role from employee BP first. Role Requirement: the role SAP_BR_DATA_PRIVACY_SPECIALIST is required to view the applications mentioned below.

  2. Go to ILM Audit Areas app, select "Archiving" as the Audit Area and click on Continue button.
  3. Click Edit button and select the checkbox adjacent to "FI_ACCPAYB", click on Save button.
  4. Go to ILM Policies app, enter the following values and click on New button.

    Action: Data Destruction
    To be archived: FI

  15. Again, monitor the archiving jobs to make sure they run successfully.
