  The SAP error message 3I059 indicates that there is an issue with the basis amount level for a voluntary or self-employment regime in the system. This error typically arises in the context of payroll processing, particularly when dealing with social security contributions or tax calculations for employees who are self-employed or under a voluntary regime.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when the system cannot find a defined basis amount level for the specified voluntary or self-employment regime. This could be due to several reasons:
  
  Configuration Issues: The necessary configuration for the basis amount levels may not have been set up correctly in the system.
  Missing Data: The required data for the specific regime may be missing or incorrectly entered in the relevant infotypes or tables.
  Incorrect Parameters: The parameters being used in the payroll run may not match the defined levels in the configuration.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:

  Ensure that the levels are set up for the specific country and type of regime you are working with.
  
  
  
  Review Employee Master Data:
  
  Check the employee master data (infotypes) to ensure that the correct regime is assigned to the employee.
  Look for infotype 0014 (Recurring Payments/Deductions) or any other relevant infotypes that may affect the payroll calculation.
  
  
  
  Validate Payroll Parameters:
  
  Ensure that the payroll parameters being used in the payroll run are correct and correspond to the defined basis amount levels.
  Check if any recent changes were made to the payroll schema or rules that could affect the calculation.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, run a test payroll for the affected employee(s) to see if the error persists.
