Object does not exist : MESSAGE OL 826 - Production issue

Question

R/3 release 4.6C
Transaction: FB03
Custom WF:  Triggering events: FIPP-CREATE  and FIPP-COMPLETED
When we try to post a document (journal) the workflow gets triggered and reaches the approver. The approver approves it and then it gets posted.
Here in this case, after the approval the workflow running into error with u201Cmessage OL 826 Object does not existu201D
When I click on the message I get this information
Object does not exist   :   Message no. OL 826                                                    
Diagnosis :   You tried to create an instance of the object type EMPLOYEET with the
                    key 1234520080603. No instance of this kind exists.                   
                PERNR u2013 12345
     Date      - 03.06.2008
I checked this using the FM P_EMPLOYEE_CHECKEXISTENCE and it is working fine there. This FM is used in EMPLOYEET object for existence check.
Initially I thought the problem was with document and the buffer but after checking u201Cdiagnosisu201D message, it confirms me that this is related to Employee.
This is happening only to one employee and all other have NO issues.
I have checked with HR team and they reckon everything is fine from their side.
Since this is in Prod I am unable to debug and test.
I was looking into the previous forums to find the solution but couldnu2019t find RIGHT one. Could you please suggest any solution for this ?
Your help greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Dear Mike/Martin,
        Could you please explain a bit about the authorization problem?
        PERNR    A, B, C, and D do the posting the docs through FB01 and PERNR  X usually do the approvals. the problem is happening onlyl with PERNR A ... if the approver has the auth problem then it could be same issue with other...  please correct me if I am wrong.
    As Martin suggested I have contacted HR team but they say .... they dont see anything different or changes for this EMP.  The personal record is coming from the EVENT FIPP-CREATE or COMPLETED so there is no manual interaction.
Just guessing: if this is the problem for all the employees then what could be the reason ? guessing that in random it is happening to this emp. He has posted 6 docs....all of them have the same issue. I checked last 3 months records and I did see Couple of workflows in last 3 months with the same error....  so just thinking if this is the problem with all emp happens onlly ramdomly.
Thoughts ??
Thanks & Regards,
Sreethan
