The SAP error message "5K664 Aboriginal Peoples Group will be deselected as Aboriginal is set to 'No'" typically occurs in the context of managing employee data, particularly in relation to diversity and inclusion reporting or compliance with specific regulations regarding Aboriginal peoples in certain regions.
Cause:
This error message indicates that there is a conflict between the selection of an Aboriginal Peoples Group and the setting of the Aboriginal status for an employee or a group of employees. Specifically, it means that the system has detected that the Aboriginal status is set to 'No', which leads to the deselection of the Aboriginal Peoples Group. This could happen due to:
- Data Entry Error: An employee's Aboriginal status may have been incorrectly set to 'No' when it should reflect their actual status.

- Compliance Requirements: The organization may have specific compliance requirements that necessitate accurate reporting of Aboriginal status.
Solution:
To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
Verify Employee Data: Check the employee's record to ensure that the Aboriginal status is correctly set. If the employee identifies as Aboriginal, update the status to 'Yes'.
Review Group Selection: If the employee does not identify as Aboriginal, ensure that they are not assigned to an Aboriginal Peoples Group. You may need to deselect the group manually if the system does not do it automatically.
Consult with HR or Compliance Team: If you are unsure about the correct status or group assignment, consult with your HR department or compliance team to ensure that the data aligns with organizational policies and legal requirements.
System Configuration Check: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to check the system configuration settings related to diversity reporting and Aboriginal status. This may require assistance from your SAP system administrator or IT support.
Training and Awareness: Ensure that all personnel involved in data entry are trained on the importance of accurately capturing diversity-related information to prevent similar issues in the future.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
