• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5C711 - Read payroll result : Wage type &3 not available in period &1.&2 ?

  The SAP error message 5C711 indicates that a specific wage type (denoted as &3) is not available in the specified payroll period (denoted as &1 and &2). This error typically occurs during payroll processing when the system attempts to read payroll results for a wage type that has not been generated or is not present in the specified period.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Payroll Results: The wage type may not have been generated for the specified payroll period. This can happen if the payroll run was not executed correctly or if there were issues during the payroll processing.
  Incorrect Period: The specified period may not correspond to a period where payroll was processed, or it may be outside the range of processed payroll periods.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the payroll schema or wage type settings that prevent the wage type from being generated.
  Data Deletion: Payroll results may have been deleted or archived, leading to the unavailability of the wage type for the specified period.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Payroll Results: Verify if the payroll run was executed for the specified period. You can do this by checking the payroll results for the employee in question using transaction codes like PC00_MXX_CALC or PC00_MXX_CEDT (where MXX is the country-specific payroll).
  Re-run Payroll: If the payroll results are missing, you may need to re-run the payroll for the affected period. Ensure that all necessary data is correct before executing the payroll run.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration of the wage type in the payroll schema. Ensure that the wage type is correctly defined and that there are no issues in the schema that would prevent it from being generated.
  Check for Deletions: If payroll results were deleted, you may need to restore them from backups or reprocess the payroll for the affected periods.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to payroll processing for your specific country version, as there may be specific considerations or known issues.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as PA03 (Maintain Payroll Area), PC00_MXX_CEDT (Display Payroll Results), and PC00_MXX_CALC (Payroll Calculation).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to payroll processing and wage types.
  User Roles: Ensure that the user executing the payroll has the necessary authorizations to access payroll results and execute payroll runs.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant specializing in SAP Payroll.
