Error message in creating EBP users from existing SU01 users

Question

I am getting the following error messages when i try to create EBP users from existing SU01 users using users_gen: Error during creation of user: User not created or error(s) occurred during user creation. ``Central person`` already exists for user (BBPU_MESSAGES 042). Pls what does it mean and how do i solve this?

Babalola-
The message is indicating that the user you are attempting to create was previously created in the EBP system.
First I would try to correct the user via users_gen using the "check users" option.  This may repair the user, but if the user has lost the association to the org then you will need to take some manual steps to re-establish the links for the user in the org details.
If this doesn't correct it, then use transaction PP01 to correct/verify the following relationships for the user.  Start with the org unit and work your way down looking for the broken link/s.
Here are the required relationships for the objects:
ORG UNIT:
Relationship     Object
B 003          Position(of user)
POSITION:
Relationship     Object
A 003          Org Unit
A 008          Central Person (of user)
A 008          User
CENTRAL PERSON:
Relationship     Object
B 008          Position
B 207          Business Partner
B 208          User
USER:
NONE
BUSINESS PARTNER:
NONE
Hope this helps you.
