• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 3F620 - No basic salary could be established for employee &1. ?

  The SAP error message 3F620 ("No basic salary could be established for employee &1") typically occurs in the context of payroll processing when the system is unable to determine the basic salary for a specific employee. This can happen for several reasons, and understanding the cause is crucial for resolving the issue.
  Causes:
  
  
  Missing Infotype Records: The employee may not have the necessary infotype records (e.g., Infotype 0008 - Basic Pay) set up in their master data. If the basic pay information is not maintained, the system cannot calculate the salary.
  
  
  Incorrect Validity Dates: The validity dates of the infotype records may not align with the payroll period being processed. If the records are not valid for the current payroll period, the system will not find the basic salary.
  
  
  Employee Status: The employee's status may be inactive or not eligible for payroll processing. For example, if the employee is on leave or has been terminated, the system may not process their salary.
  
  
  Organizational Assignment Issues: There may be issues with the employee's organizational assignment, such as missing or incorrect data in Infotype 0001 (Organizational Assignment).
  
  
  Payroll Area Configuration: The payroll area configuration may not be set up correctly, which can affect how salaries are determined.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Infotype Records: Verify that the employee has the necessary infotype records maintained, particularly Infotype 0008 (Basic Pay). Ensure that the basic salary is correctly entered.
  
  
  Review Validity Dates: Ensure that the validity dates of the infotype records cover the payroll period being processed. If necessary, adjust the dates to include the current period.
  
  
  Verify Employee Status: Check the employee's status in the system. If the employee is inactive or not eligible for payroll, take appropriate action to update their status.
  
  
  Organizational Assignment: Review the employee's organizational assignment in Infotype 0001. Ensure that all relevant data is correctly maintained and that the employee is assigned to the correct organizational unit.
  
  
  Payroll Area Configuration: Check the payroll area configuration to ensure it is set up correctly. This includes verifying that the employee is assigned to the correct payroll area.
