  The SAP error message 5Z264 indicates that there is an issue with the pay scale group in infotype 0008 (Basic Pay) for an employee. Specifically, it states that the "holder is not filled," which means that the system is unable to find the necessary information related to the pay scale group for the employee in question.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Data: The pay scale group field may not be filled in the employee's infotype 0008. This can happen if the employee's data was not completely entered or if there was an error during data entry.

  Check Infotype 0008: Go to the employee's master data and check infotype 0008 (Basic Pay). Ensure that the pay scale group field is filled in correctly. If it is empty, fill it in with the appropriate value.
  Review Configuration: If the pay scale group is supposed to be automatically populated based on other data (like the employee's position or organizational unit), check the configuration settings in the SAP system to ensure that they are set up correctly.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and modify the employee's pay scale group. If not, contact your SAP security administrator to request the appropriate access.
