I am trying to assign an employee on the system to ESS user profile and the message I get is personnel number 00000001 does not exist. [When this employee has full record on the system and is an active employee] What am I doing wrong?

IT 0185 can be used for India payroll. This is for pan no, gratuity.

This will not affect payroll.

*OR*

We maintain subtypes in table v_t591a. Goto tcode sm30 -> v_t591a -> select maintain -> it will ask you for infotype for which u want to maintain subtype maintain -> in your case it is 0185.

*OR*

Check his Infotype 105 and see if there is a valid record for the employee.
