  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.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured in a way that does not allow for the selection of an Aboriginal Peoples Group if the Aboriginal status is not confirmed as 'Yes'.

  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.
