• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 3E142 - &: No wage type was found for leave payment during leave taken processing ?

  The SAP error message 3E142 indicates that the system could not find a wage type for leave payment during the processing of leave taken. This typically occurs in the context of payroll processing when an employee takes leave, and the system is unable to determine the appropriate wage type to use for calculating the payment for that leave.
  Causes:
  
  
  Missing Wage Type Configuration: The wage type for leave payments may not be configured in the system. This can happen if the wage type has not been created or if it has not been assigned correctly in the relevant payroll schema.
  
  
  Incorrect Infotype Data: The employee's infotype data (such as IT 2001 for leave entitlement or IT 2006 for absence) may be incomplete or incorrect, leading to the system being unable to find the appropriate wage type.
  
  
  Payroll Schema Issues: There may be issues with the payroll schema configuration that prevent the system from correctly identifying the wage type for leave payments.
  
  
  Absence Quota Issues: If the absence quota is not set up correctly or if the employee has exhausted their leave entitlement, the system may not find a valid wage type.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Wage Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SM30 and check the configuration for wage types (table T512W).
  Ensure that the wage type for leave payments is defined and correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Review Infotype Data:
  
  Use transaction code PA20 or PA30 to review the employee's infotype records.
  Ensure that the relevant infotypes (like IT 2001, IT 2006) are correctly filled out and that the leave types are properly defined.
  
  
  
  Examine Payroll Schema:
  
  Check the payroll schema (transaction code PE01) to ensure that the logic for processing leave payments is correctly implemented.
  Look for any missing or incorrect operations related to leave payment processing.
  
  
  
  Validate Absence Quotas:
  
  Check the absence quotas for the employee to ensure they have sufficient leave available.
  Use transaction code PT50 to review the absence quotas.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to payroll processing and wage types for any specific configurations or updates that may be required.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making any changes, run a test payroll to see if the error persists. Use transaction code PC00_MXX_CALC to simulate payroll processing.
