  The SAP error message 5N336, "No income reduction for unpaid leave, expected end date to be deleted," typically occurs in the context of payroll processing when there is an issue related to an employee's unpaid leave. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Unpaid Leave Configuration: The error often arises when the system expects an income reduction for an employee who is on unpaid leave, but the necessary configuration or data is missing.
  End Date Issues: The expected end date for the unpaid leave may not be set correctly, or the system is unable to process the leave due to missing or incorrect data.
  Payroll Processing: The payroll run may not be able to calculate the income reduction because the relevant infotype (e.g., Infotype 2001 for Absences) is not properly maintained.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Infotype 2001: Verify that the infotype for absences (2001) is correctly maintained for the employee. Ensure that the unpaid leave is recorded with the correct start and end dates.
  Review Leave Configuration: Ensure that the configuration for unpaid leave in the system is set up correctly. This includes checking the absence types and their associated payroll rules.
  Adjust End Date: If the expected end date is incorrect or not needed, you may need to delete or adjust it in the employee's records.
  Run Payroll Simulation: Before running the actual payroll, perform a simulation to identify any other potential issues that may arise.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for specific configuration settings related to unpaid leave and payroll processing.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling unpaid leave in payroll.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as PA20 (Display HR Master Data) and PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data) to review and edit employee records.
  Testing: After making changes, conduct thorough testing to ensure that the payroll runs correctly without generating the error.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP HR and payroll to further investigate the problem.
