Resolving "The Party Identified by the Specified Party ID Does Not Exist" Error in HDL
Description
Learn why the "The party identified by the specified party ID does not exist" error occurs in Oracle Fusion HCM HDL when loading Personal Payment Methods, and how to fix it using Party and Location maintenance and Person synchronization.
Introduction
While loading Personal Payment Methods in Oracle Fusion HCM using HCM Data Loader (HDL), you may encounter the following error:
"The party identified by the specified party ID does not exist."
This error usually occurs for workers whose Party record has not been created. Without a valid Party ID, HDL cannot link the Personal Payment Method to the worker.
This blog explains the cause of this error and provides a step-by-step solution to resolve it efficiently.
Reason for the Error
The primary reason for this error is:
Party ID not created for the worker: In Fusion HCM, every worker requires a Party record to store personal information. If the Party record is missing, HDL cannot load dependent objects like Personal Payment Methods.
Other potential causes include:
Missing or incomplete Location current records
Delayed or incomplete Person synchronization processes
Note: Party IDs are crucial for linking workers to all personal data in Fusion HCM.
Step-by-Step Solution
To resolve this issue, follow these two scheduled processes in Fusion HCM:
1. Maintain Party and Location Current Record Information
This process ensures that all workers have valid Party and Location current records.
Steps:
Navigate to Scheduled Processes in Fusion HCM.
Search for Maintain Party and Location Current Record Information.
Submit the process for affected workers.
Verify the process completes successfully.
Tip: Run this process for all workers missing Party records to avoid partial issues.
2. Synchronize Person Records
After maintaining Party and Location records, synchronize Person records to update the Party IDs for workers.
Steps:
Navigate to Scheduled Processes.
Search for Synchronize Person Records.
Submit the process for all affected workers.
Verify successful completion and check that Party IDs are now created.
Post-Process Verification
After completing both scheduled processes:
Retry loading the Personal Payment Method HDL file.
Check ESS request logs to confirm the error is resolved.
Validate that Personal Payment Methods are correctly assigned in Person Management → Payments.
The error should no longer appear if Party IDs exist for all workers.
Best Practices
Always pre-check Party and Location records before loading dependent objects in HDL.
Schedule Person synchronization regularly in mass load scenarios.
Validate HDL files with a small test load before full-scale processing.
Maintain a list of workers who have missing Party IDs to proactively fix issues.
Conclusion
The "The party identified by the specified party ID does not exist" error occurs because workers lack Party records. Running the scheduled processes Maintain Party and Location Current Record Information and Synchronize Person Records resolves this issue and ensures successful Personal Payment Method loads in HDL.
By following these steps and best practices, Fusion HCM consultants can avoid this common HDL error and maintain clean, accurate payroll and payment data.
