  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Payroll Processing:
  
  Ensure that the payroll has been processed for the employee in question. You can do this by checking the payroll run status in the relevant payroll area.

  Review Payroll Results:
  
  Use transaction codes like PC00_MXX_CALC (where MXX is the country-specific payroll driver) to check if the payroll results exist for the employee.
  If results are missing, investigate if there were any errors during the payroll run that may have prevented the results from being generated.
